Question

The product of three positive integers is 300. If one of them is 5, what is the

least possible value of the sum of the other two?
​

Answer 1

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

So, we are told that 3 positive integers multiply to be 300, and that one of the integers is 5.

First, we divide 300 by 5.

The result is 60.

Now, we take different (reasonable) numbers that add to 16:

10 and 6

12 and 4

We can see here that 10 and 6 are the integers because they add up to 16 and multiplies to 60.
