Question

Consider the equation `k/x=12` where k is any number between 20 and 65 and x is a positive integer. What are the possible values of x?

Answer 1

The possible values of `x` are `2,3,4,5`.

Explanation:

`k/x=12 or 12x=k`, "k" lies between `20 and 65`

So `20<=12x<=65 or 20/12<=x<=65/12 or 5/3<=x<=65/12`

"x" lies between `5/3 and 65/12`. But x is a positive integer
So `2<=x<=5`

The possible values of `x` are `2,3,4,5` [Ans]
