What adds to the bottom number but also multiplies to the top? the top number is 15 and the bottom number is 8.
This is actually a riddle! The answer is 3.
When we add 3 to 8, we get 11 (which is the bottom number).
When we multiply 3 and 15, we get 45 (which is the top number).
To find a number that adds to the bottom number but multiplies to the top number, you can use algebraic equations. Let's call the unknown number "x".
We know that the top number is 15 and the bottom number is 8. So, we can write two equations:
1. x + 8 = 15
2. x * 8 = 15
To solve the first equation, we can subtract 8 from both sides:
x + 8 - 8 = 15 - 8
x = 7
So, the number that adds to 8 and multiplies to 15 is 7.
To find a number that adds to the bottom number (8) and multiplies to the top number (15), you need to find the factors of 15.
The factors of 15 are 1, 3, 5, and 15.
Now, let's check which of these factors add up to 8:
1 + 15 = 16
3 + 5 = 8
So, the numbers that add to 8 are 3 and 5.
