Given the statement:
Salma must choose a number between 55 and 101 that is a multiple of 2, 8, and 16
In order to determine the numbers that she could choose, we must list all the possible multiples of 2, 8, and 16 starting from 55.
Multiples of 2 starting from 55 up to 101
= 56, 58, 60, 62, 64, 66, 68, 70, 72, 74, 76, 78, 80, 82, 84, 86, 88, 90, 92, 94, 96, 98, 100
Multiples of 8 starting from 55 up to 101
= 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96
Multiples of 16 starting from 55 up to 101
= 64, 80, 96
Common multiples: 64, 80, and 96
Final answer:
Salma can choose 64, 80 and 96.
