m stands for a whole number greater than 10 and less than 20
n stands for a whole number greater than 2 and less than 10

1. What is the smallest number that m x n could be?
2. What is the largest number that m - n could be?


Sagot :

10 < m < 20
So m can be 11, 12, 13, 14, 15,16, 17, 18 or 19

2 < n < 10
So n can be 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9
Q1. What is the smallest number that m times n could be? That would be the product (the "times") of the two smallest number in each range, so 11 times 3 = 33.

Q2. What is the largest number that m - n could be? Here we want to make the difference between the two numbers the largest. So we take the largest value for m which is 19 and the smallest number for n, which is 3.

19 - 3 = 16.
