A and b are two natural numbers such that a b
a< 512 < b < 608. What is the difference between
the biggest and smallest possible values of a + b

604

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the Natural Numbers consist of the set of positive integers. Therefore, the minimum value of a is "1", and its maximum value is 511 (it has to be smaller than 512)

On the other hand, "b" has its minimum value as 513 (must be larger than 512); and has its maximum value as 607.

Then the maximum possible value of a + b would be: 511 + 607 = 1118

and the minimum possible value of a + b is given by: 1 + 513 = 514.

And the difference between these two numbers is:

1118 - 514 = 604

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
