Preston picked five playing cards and got 2,3,6,5, and 1.

a what two digit and three digit numbers could he create that would have the greatest sum? is there more than one possibility? what is the sum?

bwhat two digit and three digit did you create that would have the smallest song? is there more than one possibility? what is it the what two digit and three digit did he create that would have the smallest song? is there more than one possibility? what is the sum?

A) 65 + 653 = 718. There is only one possibility

B) 12 + 123 = 135. There is only one possibility

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Given the numbers 2, 3, 6, 5 and 1.

To create a two digit and three digit number that will have the greatest sum, it implies the numbers created are the greatest themselves.

From the numbers given, the two digit number is 65 and the three digit number is 653.

Sum: 653+65= 718

B) Same applies here, to create the smallest sum of two and three digit numbers, the numbers created must be the smallest possible.

They are 12 and 123

Sum: 123+12= 135.

In both cases there will be only one possibility since the term greatest and smallest means nothing is bigger than it and lesser than it respectively.
