cards numbered 500 through 799 sre placed into a box. how many of the cards satisfy both of the condition shown below m. the first digit of the three digit number on the cards is odd. the three digit number on the card is divisible by 6

Respuesta :

There are many numbers that satisfy the first condition. The numbers beginning with 6 are discarded. It means the number on the cards must begin with 5 or 7.

The second condition is more specific. To find the numbers on the cards that are divisible by 6 take into account that for a number to be divisible by 6, it needs to be divisible by 2 (the last digit must be a pair digit) and by 3 (the sum of its digits must be a multiple of 3). Remember that we already know that the number must begin with 5 or 7.

Make a list:

510

522

504

516

528

720

702

714

726

708

The smallest number from the numbers that begin with 5 is 504 and from the numbers that begin with 7 is 702. Start adding 6 to each number until you have obtained a number more than 599 and 799 respectively.
