Example Question #1 : How To Find The Number Of Integers Between Two Other Integers
Solve the expression using the given values below.
We can simply plug in the values to each occurrence of the variables.
For 
Then 
Then 
Now we can solve.
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Number Of Integers Between Two Other Integers
What is the sum of the prime integers that satisfy the inequality 
The prime integers beterrn 20 and 40 are 23, 29, 31, and 37. Their sum is
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Number Of Integers Between Two Other Integers
What is the sum of all of the perfect squares and perfect cubes that satisfy the inequality 
There are four perfect squares between 10 and 50: 16, 25, 36, and 49. There is one perfect cube, 27, in this range. Add:
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Number Of Integers Between Two Other Integers
How many integers fall between 17 and 73 on a number line?
To calculate the number of integers, find subtract the integers of interest and then subtract 1.
As a proof of concept, calculate the number of integers that fall between 5 and 10 on a number line. We know there are 4 (6, 7, 8, 9).
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Number Of Integers Between Two Other Integers
How many perfect squares satisfy the inequality 
The smallest perfect square between 100 and 1,000 inclusive is 100 itself, since 
Since the squares of the integers from 10 to 31 all fall in this range, this makes 
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Number Of Integers Between Two Other Integers
An ice cream vendor sells five different flavors of ice cream.
In how many ways can you choose three scoops of different ice cream flavors if order matters?
There are five ways to choose the first scoop, then four ways to choose the second scoop, and finally three ways to choose the third scoop:
5 * 4 * 3 = 60
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Number Of Integers Between Two Other Integers
How many integers are in between the numbers 455, and 467?
How many integers are in between the numbers 455, and 467?
An integer is just a whole number.
We can find the number of integers between two numbers in a variety of ways. To start, let's count off.
456,457,458,459,460,461,462,463,464,465,466
There are 11.
However, what if your numbers are really big?
Then just subtract the smaller number from the bigger number and then subtract 1.
Our answer is eleven either way.
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Number Of Integers Between Two Other Integers
Find how many integers are between two and eight.
To determine the number of integers in between 2 and 8, we can simply write out the numbers and count.
Notice that the number of integers in between two other integers will be one less than the range of the two given numbers.
The answer is:
Example Question #1 : Expressions
The sum of three consecutive even integers equals 72. What is the product of these integers?
10560
13800
12144
13728
17472
13728
Let us call x the smallest integer. Because the next two numbers are consecutive even integers, we can call represent them as x + 2 and x + 4. We are told the sum of x, x+2, and x+4 is equal to 72.
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 72
3x + 6 = 72
3x = 66
x = 22.
This means that the integers are 22, 24, and 26. The question asks us for the product of these numbers, which is 22(24)(26) = 13728.
The answer is 13728.
