You are playing a game. A  rectangle covers two adjacent squares (oriented either horizontally or vertically) of a  grid of squares, but you are not told which two squares are covered. Your goal is to find at least one square that is covered by the rectangle. A "turn" consists of you guessing a square, after which you are told whether that square is covered by the hidden rectangle. The minimum number of turns you need to ensure that at least one of your guessed squares is covered by the rectangle

The number of three-digit positive integers x there are such that 5x =y^3 for some positive integer  y 

How many is 2?


If 5x =^3 , then 5 divides y ^3 . Since 5 is prime, it must divide y, so y = 5k for some k ∈ N. Then x = 25k^3 . Now, x is divisible by 25, so x = 25m for some m ∈ N. Next, from 100 ≤ x ≤ 999 we get 4 ≤ m ≤ 39. There are only two cubes in this interval: 8 and 27. So, there are two possible values of x. They are 25 · 8 = 200 and 25 · 27 = 675.
