GMAT Prep - Tough question: 7 of 7

by GMATDUD » Mon Feb 04, 2008 4:05 pm
Hi All ,

when calculating the range of 7 consecutive numbers from 0 -7 , is the 0 not considered as a starting point ?

See problem attached.


Thanks,
T

0 is neither positive nor negative

question says what is the range of the positive integers
0 is neither positive nor negative (that's the rule)
so its 7-1=6
