The number of integers between 10 and 100 that is divisible by 3 is ………

Discussion :
A number that is divisible by 3 is a multiple of 3. The number of multiples of 3
between 10 and 100 is :
12 + 15 +18 + … + 99
The sum of all numbers froms an arithmetic sequence with a = 12, b = 3 ,and
𝑼𝟏 = 𝟗𝟗.
The many terms of the sequence:
𝑼𝟏 = 𝟗𝟗
𝒂 + (𝒏 − 𝟏)𝒃 = 𝟗𝟗
𝟏𝟐 + (𝒏 − 𝟏)(𝟑) = 𝟗𝟗
(𝒏 − 𝟏)(𝟑) = 𝟖𝟕
𝒏 − 𝟏 = 𝟐𝟗
𝒏 = 𝟑𝟎
The number of terms in the series is 30.
𝒏
The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic series is given by 𝑺𝒏 = 𝟐 x ( a + 𝑼𝒏 ).
Thus, the sum of the series :
𝟑𝟎
𝑺𝟑𝟎 = x ( a + 𝑼𝟑𝟎 )
𝟐
= 15 x ( 12 + 99)
= 15 x 111
= 1.665
So, the number of the integres between 10 and 100 that is divisible by 3 is 1.665.

2. Look at the following picture.

The image above shows a pattern composed of matchsticks. The number of

matchsticks in the 15th pattern is…..
Discussion:
Many matchsticks in pattern 1 = 3
Many matchsticks in pattern 2 = 5
Many matchsticks in pattern 3 = 7
Many matchsticks in the 4th pattern = 9
The sequence of numbers is obtained : 3, 5, 7, 9,…. Thus, the number of
matchsticks in the nth pattern is represented by 2n + 1.
15th matchsticks lot
= 2 x 15 + 1
= 30 + 1 = 31.
So, the number of matchsticks in the 15th pattern is 31 sticks.

3. Data on sales of ornamental plants at Taman Sari shop in one week as follwos.

The difference between ornamental plants sold on Wednesday and Saturday

is……
Discussion:
From the bar chart the following data are obtained.
Many ornamental plants sold on Saturday = 90
Many ornamental plants sold on wednesday = 30

Difference = 60
So, the difference between ornamental plants sold on Wednesday and Saturday
is 60 pots.
4. The following is the math test scores of 20 students.
60 70 80 90 100 60 80 70 90 80
70 80 60 80 70 80 70 80 60 70
The mean (average) student test scores are………
Discussion:
Mean 𝑿 ̅ = 𝟔𝟎+𝟕𝟎+𝟖𝟎+𝟗𝟎+𝟏𝟎𝟎+𝟔𝟎+𝟖𝟎+𝟕𝟎+𝟗𝟎+𝟖𝟎+𝟕𝟎+𝟖𝟎+𝟔𝟎+𝟖𝟎+𝟕𝟎+𝟖𝟎+𝟕𝟎+𝟖𝟎+𝟔𝟎+𝟕𝟎
𝟐𝟎
𝟏.𝟓𝟎𝟎
̅=
Mean 𝑿 = 𝟕𝟓
𝟐𝟎
So, the avarage math test score of 20 students is 75.
