Answer:Larry is correct

Explanation:

Larry is correct because if u were to write a list of how many prime numbers are between 1 and 100 u would get 2,3,5,7,11,13,17 and so and so u would not get a number that ends with a two and be prime.

Answer:

Larry is incorrect

Explanation:

A composite number is a number that is divisible by itself, 1, and any other number. He is incorrect. For example, the number 23 isn't composite, even though there is a 2 in the ones place. The number 23 is ONLY divisible by 23 and 1 -- not any other number.

Hope this helped :)
