OpenStudy (amistre64):

you know how the seive works?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which two rows have the greatest number of primes in them? A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4 Select all that apply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um not really lol

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you let 1 be, and 2 is your first prime, since all multiples of 2 are not prime; cross out all multiples of 2 go to your next nuber that aint marked out, the 3, and cross out all multiples of 3 since they aint primes

OpenStudy (amistre64):

go to 5 afterwards and do the same, then 7 and by then you should be all marked out

OpenStudy (amistre64):

or at least marked out enough that ther are no more left to try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wouldn't it be 4

OpenStudy (amistre64):

there is some thrm that says after you reach a point that is no more than the square root of the number of boxes you have; its pointless to go further for some reason

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i got know idea what id be, i havent drawn the bax they want lol

OpenStudy (amistre64):

or box even ..... i think this keyboard goes funny after the laptop heats up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mine does that to:)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

im sure the answer is rows 1 and 2; but that more of a gut feeling. primes tend to space out logarithically

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right:)
