When she reaches the Pitts’ house she notices they receive as many articles as their house number. By a strange coincidence the same thing happens at the Percivals’ house next door, and in faet at thirteen consecutive houses starting at the Pitt household and finishing at the Pomeroys’ house. Between them, the thirteen families received 351 articles of mail, so what is the number of the Pitts” house? 5. If m is a number between 15 and 30 and 1 is a number between 3 and 8, then what is the range of numbers that "/ must exist between? 6. The number six is called a perfect number because it is equal to the sum of its factors, not including itself (i. + 2 + 3), The next perfect number is 28 because 28 = 1 + 2 +4 +7 + 14. The next perfect number is between 480 and 500. What is it? 7. What is the reflex angle between the hands of a clock when the time is 2:25? 8. The diagram to the right represents a street map.
