You can add 5 because 24+5= 29 and still being divisible by 5. if you add six you need to regroup

Answer: There are 5 counters that can be added without having to regroup.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of counters = 24

We need to add without having to regroup.

It means that we should make it a prime number which does not get divided by any other number except 1 and itself.

so, After 24, there is other numbers that has chances are as follows:

25,26,27,28,29......

But except 29 all the other number can be regroup as they are composite numbers.

But 29 is the nearest prime number after 24.

So, 24+5=29.

Hence, there are 5 counters that can be added without having to regroup.

svetlana [45]
Horizontal cross sections are the same shape: they are all squares if the pyramid is square or rectangles if the pyramid is a rectangle pyramid.
Vertical cross sections are different shape: At the pyramid top they are triangles, at other places they have four sides.

Horizontal cross sections are different size: the more we go to the top of the pyramind, the smaller they get.
Vertical cross sections are different size: the closer we get to the edges, the smaller they become.

The sum of two positive numbers is 588. minimize the sum of the first and three times the second
Marianna [84]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  {587, 1}

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum will be minimized when the second number is as close to zero as is allowed. If the numbers must be positive integers, the sum is minimized when the numbers are {587, 1}.

If the numbers may be real numbers, then the values that minimize the sum are {588-, 0+}

_____

The "cost" of taking a unit from the sum 588 and assigning it to the second number is that the sum of first and 3 times the second goes up by 3. In order to minimize that sum, the second number must be minimized.
