9 odd numbers whose sum is 100?

Answer 1

Oh, what a happy little math problem we have here! Let's paint a picture with numbers. If we start with the smallest odd number, which is 1, and keep adding the next odd numbers (3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17), we get a sum of 100. Isn't that just a delightful little math puzzle to solve?

Answer 2

To find 9 odd numbers whose sum is 100, we first need to determine the average of these numbers by dividing the sum by the count of numbers, which gives us 100 / 9 = 11.11 (repeating). To ensure all numbers are odd, we can use the consecutive odd numbers centered around this average: 1 below and 7 above. Thus, the numbers would be 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, and 17. Their sum is indeed 100 (1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 = 100).

Answer 3

Sure thing, honey. Let's break it down for ya. You can have 9 odd numbers that add up to 100 by using the numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, and 31. Add 'em up and you'll see they equal 100. Math doesn't have to be boring, darlin'.

Answer 4

ANSWER: There do not exist 9 odd numbers that will workAny odd number of odd number must be odd and 100 is even. Here is an easy way to see this. Take any odd number of odd numbers, say 9 of them. Now, pair them up by twos. so we have 4 pairs of two. Any two odd numbers will add up to an even number. But since we have an odd number of them we have one left over. Now an odd plus and even is always an odd. So odd number of odds is odd!
