Composite numbers have divisors other than 1, while prime numbers do not.

  • 18 could represent the weight of the breed, as a composite number.
  • 19 could represent the weight of the breed, as a prime number.

Given

[tex]Weight < 20lb[/tex]

Prime numbers less than 20 are:

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17 and 19

Composite numbers less than 20 are:

4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16 and 18

Considering the weights of dog breeds (in the complete question), the average weight of the Lakeland Terrier breed must be the closest to 20.

The numbers close to 20 are

[tex]Prime = 19[/tex]

[tex]Composite = 18[/tex]

Hence, 19 and 18 could represent the average weights of the breed.
