A number is multiplied by 57. The result is a positive number greater than 57.

Question

Which of these was multiplied by 57?
O A.
a number between zero and one
O B. a number greater than one
O C. zero
O D.
a number less than zero

Answer 1

Given that a number is multiplied by 57 to yield a result that is a positive number greater than 57, we can analyze the options:

1. Option A: A number between zero and one (e.g., 0.5)

   • This would yield a result less than 57 (57 * 0.5 = 28.5), which does not satisfy the condition.

2. Option B: A number greater than one (e.g., 2)

   • This would yield a result greater than 57 (57 * 2 = 114), which satisfies the condition.

3. Option C: Zero

   • This would yield a result of 0 (57 * 0 = 0), which does not satisfy the condition.

4. Option D: A number less than zero (e.g., -1)

   • This would yield a negative result (57 * -1 = -57), which does not satisfy the condition.

The only option that satisfies the requirement (resulting in a positive number greater than 57) is:

O B. a number greater than one.
