Michael was asked to pick a number between 0 and 50 for a contest at school. The number he chose is less than 50 and is a multiple of 5 and 8. Select Michael's number. A) 24 B) 30 C) 32 D) 40

D) 40

Step-by-step explanation:

First, identify what you know:

1) Michael is directed to pick a number between 1 and 50

2) Michael picks a number that is less than 50

3) The number chosen, is a multiple of 5 and 8

A multiple is a number that can be divided by another number without a remainder. What number can be divided by 5 and 8 without having a remainder?

40/5 = 8

40/8 = 5

Michael chose 40!!

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!
