Math Problem Statement

Which statement is true? 1. 10 is a multiple of 4. 2. 10 is a multiple of 5. 3. 10 is a multiple of 20. 4. 10 is a multiple of 25.

Solution

The question asks which statement about the number 10 is true:

  1. 10 is a multiple of 4: This is false because 10÷4=2.510 \div 4 = 2.5, which is not an integer.

  2. 10 is a multiple of 5: This is true because 10÷5=210 \div 5 = 2, which is an integer.

  3. 10 is a multiple of 20: This is false because 10÷20=0.510 \div 20 = 0.5, which is not an integer.

  4. 10 is a multiple of 25: This is false because 10÷25=0.410 \div 25 = 0.4, which is not an integer.

Correct Answer:

10 is a multiple of 5.
