How many multiples of 7 are there between 21 and 343 ?

A. 48
B. 47
C. 46
D. 45
E. 44

Missing the word "inclusive" mens that we woul dnot count 21 and 343. Therefore, it is (343-21)/7 -1 = 45

Answer = D = 45

7 * 3 = 21

7 * 49 = 343

Total multiples = (49-3) + 1 = 47

Exclude 7 & 343 = 47-2 = 45

Responding to a pm:

Yes, in the absence of explanatory words, I would take "between" to mean "excluding end points". Though, in a question where it matters whether you take the end points or not (since end points are divisible by 7), I would expect the question to clarify.

Exclude 21 & 343 (use of word exclusively) = 47 - 2 = 45

21/7 = 3
343/7 = 49

so we're looking at 4 through 48 (as the multiples of 7)

48-4=44+1 = 45 (add one because it's inclusive)

D.

21 < 7x < 343
3 < x < 49

total = 48 - 4 + 1 = 45

Number of Numbers divisible by 7 up to 21 is = 21/7 = 3

Numbers divisible by 7 up to 343 is = 343/7 = 49

Hence the number of numbers divisible by 7 between 21 and 343(excluding both ) = (49 - 3) - 1 = 45, (We have removed one number from the number since 343 was included in the numbers)

Hope it will help

How many multiples of 7 are there between 21 and 343, exclusive

Multiples of 7 inclusive of 21 and 343 = 343-21/7 + 1 = 46+1 =7 .

since 23 and 342 are multiples and it needs to be excluded remove them from the list = 47-2 = 45

21 = 7*3 ie 3 multiples of 7
343 = 7*49 ie 49 multiples of 7

Between 7 & 343,
49 - 3 - the number 343
= 49-3-1
=45

D is Correct
