1. If 2 < x < 4 and 3 < y < 7, what is the largest integer value of x + y?
- A. 9
- B. 9
- C. 9
- D. 9
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
x is less than 4 and y is less than 7. That means that if only the value of x+y is restricted to being an integer, x could be 3.5 and y could be 6.5, and so x+y=10. Since x+y cannot be 11, 10 is the largest integral value.
