Question

Is 268+37<346? Make a conjecture. 2-step construct an argument to prove your conjecture.

a. Conjecture: Yes; Argument: Show that 268+37 is indeed less than 346.
b. Conjecture: No; Argument: Demonstrate that 268+37 is greater than 346.
c. Conjecture: Yes; Argument: Provide an example where 268+37 is less than 346.
d. Conjecture: No; Argument: Assert that 268+37 is always equal to 346.

Answer 1

Yes, 268+37 is less than 346. To prove this, add 268 and 37, which equals 305, and compare it to 346. Since 305 is less than 346, the conjecture is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conjecture: Yes; Argument: Show that 268+37 is indeed less than 346.

Step 1: Add 268 and 37: 268 + 37 = 305

Step 2: Compare the sum (305) to 346.

Since 305 is less than 346, the conjecture is true.
