sam writes on a white board the positive integers from 1 to 6 inclusive once each. she then writes p additional fives and q sevens on the board. The mean of all the numbers on the board is then 5.3. What is the smallest possible value of q?

7

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is on the ukmt junior maths challenge which I'm doing now, out of the options given I got 7, because 2+4+6+5+(5×20)+(7×7)= 166, (then dividing that by the number of numbers to get the mean) so 166÷31= 5.354

Also the 3 has a recurring symbol above it

The 7 is times seven so uh yeah<3

linear pair postulates
