AMC-10A (2010) Problem 21
Pre College Mathematics
Given that $\frac{M}{6}=\frac{6}{N}$ \(\Rightarrow MN=36\).Next we have to find out the the Possibilities to getting \(a \times b=36\)
can you finish the problem........
Now the possibilities are ....
$1 \times 36=36$
$2 \times 18=36$
$3 \times 12=36$
$4 \times 9=36$
$6 \times 6=36$
We can reverse the order of the factors for all of the ones listed above, because they are ordered pairs except for 6*6 since it is the same back if you reverse the order.
can you finish the problem........
Therefore the total Possible order pairs that satisfy the equation $\frac{M}{6}=\frac{6}{N}$=\(9\)
