1. What is the 20th digit in the decimal expansion for the sum of 2/9 and 1/7?

2. The digits 1, 2, and 5 can be scrambled to form three-digit numbers. How many of the numbers are prime?

3. The integer x has 12 positive factors. The numbers 12 and 15 are factors of x. What is x?

1) $${2 \over 9} + {1 \over 7} = 0. \overline{365079}$$

I'll let you work it from here.

So the answer would be 6?

3) $$12 = 2^2 \times 3$$$$15 = 3 \times 5$$

This tells us that the number will have 3 prime factors (2, 3, and 5).

The key here is that $$2^x \times 3^y \times 5^z$$ has $$(x+1)(y+1)(z+1)$$

The only 3 numbers that multiply to 12 are 2, 2, and 3.

So, z = 1, y = 1, and x = 2 meaning the number is $$2^2 \times 3^2 \times 5 = \color{brown}\boxed{60}$$

4) First, maximize the quarters, then maximize the dimes with what's left, then repeat for the nickels and pennies.

So, use 3 quarters for 75 cents

Then, use 1 dime to get to 85

Then, use 1 nickel to get to 90

Then, use 3 pennies to get to 93

So $$3 + 3 + 1 + 1 = \color{brown}\boxed{8}$$ coins.
