How many whole numbers greater than 0 and less than 100 are divisible by 2?

Bess [88]

Answer: 49

Step-by-step explanation:

If it's less than 100, that means that you can't use the number 100 in the answer. From 0 - 100 there are 50 even numbers (divisible by 2), so that means that there would be 50 - 1 even numbers between 0 and 100 (not including 100). 50 - 1 = 49

Two consecutive odd whole numbers are selected. The difference between the reciprocals of the two numbers is 2/143. Determine th

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

11 and 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the smaller one is x. Then the difference of their reciprocals is ...

$\dfrac{1}{x}-\dfrac{1}{x+2}=\dfrac{(x+2)-(x)}{x(x+2)}=\dfrac{2}{x(x+2)}$

This tells us that x will be the smaller of the two factors of 143:

143 = 11×13

x = 11

The two numbers are 11 and 13.
