Answer:

The answer is 35.

Explanation:

Prime numbers that are less than 50 are --> 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47

The largest prime number in here that is less than 50 is 47, right?

Lastly, the smallest composite number which is greater than 10 is what? It is 12, okay?

So, 47 - 12 = 35
