A book is opened to a page at random. The product of the facing page numbers is 9312. What is the sum of the facing page numbers?

193

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's "cheat" a little on this one

We know that the numbers are consecutive

so lets take the square root of 9312 to get close

√9312 = 96.4987046545

Consecutive numbers around 96.4987046545

96 * 97 = 9312

96 + 97 = 193

The "correct" method would be to set up an equation

x(x + 1) = 9312

x² + x = 9312

x² + x - 9312 = 0

Then use the quadratic equation to solve for x

Which you can do if you're so inclined.

Me, I'm happy to have "cheated"

answer: first option i.e. 'a' is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

number of minutes to wrap a small gift box = 4 minutes

we need to find the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes

since there is a direct variation, as the number of minutes will increase with   number of gifts to be wrapped.

so, let the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes be x.

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.

its totaly b
