Answer:

Larry would be wrong if 2(as a prime number) is part of the numbers that has 2 at its ones place, but if 2 is not there, then he is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to know what a composite number is. In simple terms, a composite number is a number that is not a prime number. Meaning that, if a number has more than two factors (1 and itself which is the definition for a prime number), then the number is a composite number.

Larry says all numbers that have 2 in their ones place are composite. It depends, if 2 is the only number that makes up the digit, that is the number itself is 2, then it's obviously a prime number. But any other number having 2 at its ones place is definitely a composite number because the number has more than 2 factors; 1, itself and 2. Example:

12, some of the factors is 1, 12 and 2. Therefore it is a composite number.

Larry would be wrong if 2(as a prime number) is part of the numbers that has 2 at its ones place, but if 2 is not there, then he is correct.

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

this is it

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of California is approximately 38,040,000. The population of Texas is approximately 26.06 x 106 . The population of New York State is approximately 1.96 x 107

38,040,000 = 3.804 x 107

26.06 x 106 = 2.606 x 107

Which state has the highest approximate population? Show work and/or Explain.

    NY: 1.96 x 107 = 19,600,000

    TX: 2.606 x 107 = 26,060,000

 CA: 3.804 x 107 = 38,040,000      

California has the highest approximate population.

Find the sum of the approximate population of California and New York State.

     (3.804 x 107) + (1.96 x 107) = (3.804 +1.96) x 107 = 5.764 x 107

Find the difference in the approximate population of Texas and New York State.

    (2.606 x 107) - (1.96 x 107) = 0.646 x 107 = 6.46 x 106

crimeas [40]
There are a few ways to find out the correct answer. One of them is to divide 2.40 by 6 to get a price of one cake and then multiply it by 10:

2.40 ÷ 6 = 0.40
0.40 * 10 = 4.00

Answer: Ten cakes would cost 4 pounds.
