Question

What numbers multiply 14 to make 125?

A) 8 and 16
B) 5 and 25
C) 7 and 18
D) 10 and 12

Answer 1

None of the provided pairs of numbers (A, B, C, or D) multiply with 14 to make 125. After dividing 125 by 14 and checking each pair of numbers against 14, none of the products is equal to 125.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student asked which numbers multiply 14 to make 125. This is a multiplication problem where we are asked to find two numbers that, when multiplied together with 14, result in 125. To solve this, we can divide 125 by 14 and find the correct pair that multiplies back to 125.

Here is the explanation step by step:

1. Divide 125 by 14 to find the potential multiplier. 125 ÷ 14 ≈ 8.93. This is not an integer, indicating that none of the options given will multiply exactly with 14 to give 125.
2. However, we can quickly check each option against 14 to see if any of them result in 125:
3. A) 8 and 16: 14 × 8 = 112 and 14 × 16 = 224. Neither of these products is 125.
4. B) 5 and 25: 14 × 5 = 70 and 14 × 25 = 350. Again, neither equals 125.
5. C) 7 and 18: 14 × 7 = 98 and 14 × 18 = 252. Neither of these is 125.
6. D) 10 and 12: 14 × 10 = 140 and 14 × 12 = 168. None of these make 125.
7. As none of the pairs of numbers provided yields the product of 125 when multiplied by 14, none of the options A, B, C, or D is correct.
