Question

If r=3q + 2 and q = 1/3n for n = 1,2 or 3,

what is the least possiable value of r ?
A. 1
B. 2 1/9
C. 2 1/3
D. 3

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

21/ 3 is the answer of this question

Answer 2

D. 3

Explanation:

For n = 1:

q = 1/3 * 1 = 1/3

r = 3 * 1/3 + 2 = 1 + 2 = 3

For n = 2:

q = 1/3 * 2 = 2/3

r = 3 * 2/3 + 2 = 2 + 2 = 4

For n = 3:

q = 1/3 * 3 = 1

r = 3 * 1 + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5

Therefore, from the values of r that we found (3, 4, 5), the minimal value is 3.
