Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of candies can be divided among 2, 3, or 5 children so that is the same as saying: the number of candies must be divisible by 2, 3, and 5. In order for a number to be divisible by 5, it must end in 0 or 5 so we know the number of candies must end in 0 or 5. For a number to be divisible by 2, the number must end in an even number. 5 is not an even number so we know the number of candies must end in 0. If a number is divisible by 3, the digits added are divisible by 3. Go through each number(80, 90, 100) and see which one is divisible by 3. 90 is divisible by 2, 3, and 5.

Proof that 90 is divisible by 2, 3, and 5:

90 ÷ 2 = 45

90 ÷ 3 = 30

90 ÷ 5 = 18

The results are all whole numbers.

11.1.30<br> How many three-digit even numbers are possible if the leftmost digit cannot be zero?
Ann [662]

The total number of 3 digit even numbers is 450

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

We need to determine the  number of 3 digit numbers which is even and the leftmost digit is not zero .

The  3 digits with left most digit not equal to zero starts from 100 and goes up to 998

If we consider only the even 3 digit numbers in this interval, this would form an arithmetic progression with the first number a = 100 and the common difference d = 2.

Step 2:

The last number l  in this series is 998 .

So we have

a = 100

l = 998

d = 2

The nth term in the arithmetic progression is given by a + (n-1) d

so substituting the above values we get

100 + (n-1) 2 = 998

2n = 900  => n = 450

Step 3 :

Answer :

The total number of 3 digit even numbers is 450

A table contains the ordered pairs (3, 42.25) and (5, 50.75). If the relationship in the table is linear, explain how to find th
Basile [38]

Answer:

The linear relationship ( the linear equation ):

y = m x + b ( the slope-intercept form )

m = ( 50.75 - 42.25 ) / ( 5 - 3 ) = 8.50 / 2 = 4.25 ( the slope )

42.25 = 4.25 * 3 + b

b = 42.25 - 12.75

b = 29.50

y = 4.25 * x + 29.50

Answer:

The initial value is : ( 0,  29.50 ) or 29.50.
