How many numbers between 11 and 90 are divisible by 7?
12
10
13
11
11
Find the first multiple of 7 after 11 (14) and the last multiple of 7 before 90 (84). Use the formula (Last - First) / 7 + 1.
Range between 11 and 90, numbers must be divisible by 7.

Find the first multiple of 7 after 11 (14) and the last multiple of 7 before 90 (84). Use the formula (Last - First) / 7 + 1.
Including 7 itself or 91 (which is >90), or miscalculating the boundary range by excluding the ends.
Identify the range boundaries
We need multiples of 7 strictly between 11 and 90. The first multiple of 7 greater than 11 is 14 (7├Ч2). The last multiple of 7 less than 90 is 84 (7├Ч12).
F=14,L=84
Apply the arithmetic sequence formula
The number of terms n in an arithmetic sequence is given by the formula n=dLтИТFтАЛ+1, where d is the common difference, which is 7.
n=784тИТ14тАЛ+1
Calculate the result
Subtract the first term from the last term and divide by the common difference, then add 1: n=770тАЛ+1=10+1=11.
n=11
D is correct because the multiples of 7 between 11 and 90 are 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77, and 84, which count to exactly 11 numbers.
