Algebra.Com's Answer #243278 by nyc_function(2741)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! If k is divisible by 3, we know that k/3.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We also know that there is no remainder.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We also know that k is less than 60.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "What is the biggest number less than 60 that is evenly divided by 3?\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "59/3 = decimal number\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "58/3 = decimal number\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "57/3 = 19\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The answer is 57.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let k = 57.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then k/3 = 57/3 = 19\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Did you follow? \n" ); document.write( " |
