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.
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
5*72*32 is not a prime factorization to begin with because neither 72, nor 32 are primes. A prime factorization for this product would be:
2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*3*3*5
and the number with this factorization is 11520.
There is a small chance that what you meant to write was this:
in which case the number for this prime factorization is 2205.
Answer:
66 °F
Step-by-step explanation:
At 4 P.M., the temperature had decreased by 3° from the temperature at 3 P.M., so was ...
4 P.M. temp = 78 °F -3° = 75 °F
This was repeated until 7 P.M.
5 P.M. temp = 75 °F -3° = 72 °F
6 P.M. temp = 72 °F -3° = 69 °F
7 P.M. temp = 69 °F -3° = 66 °F
The temperature at 7 P.M. was 66 °F.

Of course the repeated subtraction can be simplified using multiplication. The subtraction of 3° four times is equivalent to the subtraction of . . .
(3°)(4) = 12°
That is, the temperature at 7 P.M. is ...
78 °F -3°×4 = 78 °F -12° = 66 °F
