How many of the whole numbers less than 100 are 10 greater than an odd whole number?

Answer 1

To find the number of whole numbers less than 100 that are 10 greater than an odd whole number, we can set up an equation. Let x represent the odd whole number. Therefore, the number that is 10 greater than x is x + 10. Since x is odd, it can be represented as 2n + 1, where n is a non-negative integer. Substituting this into the equation x + 10 = 2n + 1 + 10, we get 2n + 11. To find the number of such numbers less than 100, we need to find the largest possible value of n such that 2n + 11 < 100. Solving for n, we get n < 44.5, which means the largest possible integer value for n is 44. Therefore, there are 45 odd whole numbers less than 100 that are 10 greater than an odd whole number.

Answer 2

Well, darling, there are 5 odd whole numbers less than 100 that are 10 less than an odd whole number: 11, 31, 51, 71, and 91. So, the answer is 5. But hey, who's counting?

Answer 3

45 of them.
