<h3>Answer:  2</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

If a number only has one factor pair, then that number must be prime. This is because prime numbers only have factors of 1 and the number itself.

For instance, the value 7 is prime because the only factors of this are 1 and 7.

For something like the number 32, it is composite and not prime because it has the factors {1,2,4,8,16,32} and it leads to these three factor pairs: 1*32, 2*16, 4*8. This is one example showing why the answer isn't composite.

-----------

Let's say that p is the unknown prime we want to find. The factors of this are 1 and p. We're told that "one of the factors is twice the other factor", so that must mean p = 2*1 = 2. We can see that 2 is twice that of 1.

A certain bleach is 5% active ingredients. In 10 gallons of this bleach, how much is active ingredients
aalyn [17]
You didn't include how many gallons each container of bleach has, so I'm just going assume one container has a gallon inside. if 5% of one gallon is active Ingredients, and there are 10 gallons, then that's 1,000%. (one gal = 100%. 100x10= 1,000) 5 x 10= 50, so 50% of 1,000% is active ingredients, which can be simplified to 5% anyway, so 5%
