Question

The sum of ten positive odd integers is 22. Some of these integers are equal to each other. What greatest possible value of one of these integers?A. 21B. 13C. 11D.9

Answer 1

The greatest possible value of one of these integers occurs when the other 9 values are the least possible value, which is 1.

When the other 9 integers are 1, the sum of these is 9, then the tenth integer will be the difference between 22 and 9:

`22-9=13`

It means that the greatest possible value of one of the integers is 13.

The correct answer is B.
