Answer:
3/8ths cup
Step-by-step explanation:
take 3/4 and times that by 2 then you get 6/8th and then take half of the 6 out and get 3/8th
Ok this is a very question that can solved very easily. So we know that there three numbers, and they are consecutive, this means that they are all one bigger than the number before so for example 1,2, and 3 or 20, 21, and 22. These numbers are called consecutive. Now let's just pretend that the answer to this question is the variable "x". Now x is the smallest number in all the three numbers.
Using our knowledge of consecutive numbers we can say that the next to numbers will be one more than the number before so:
(x+1) and (x+2)
So we have our three numbers: x , x+1 , and x+2. Now let's set these numbers equal to 177.
177 = x + x + 1 + x + 2 → Combine like terms.
177 = 3x + 3 → Subtract 3 from both sides.
174 = 3x → Divide both sides by 3
58 = x
So that means that our first and smallest number is going to be 58 our second number will be +1 so 59 and our third number will be +2 so 60.
So the three numbers will be 58, 59, and 60.
Hope this helped.
The share of Natasha is £ 42
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
£70 is divided between Natasha, Richard & Stephen
Total amount = 70
Let the share of natasha be "x"
Let the share of richard be "y"
Let the share of stephen be "z"
Natasha gets twice as much as Richard
x = 2y ------ eqn 1
Richard gets three times as much as Stephen
y = 3z
----- eqn 2
Total amount = 70
share of natasha + share of richard + share of stephen = 70
x + y + z = 70
Substitute eqn 1 and eqn 2
Substitute y = 21 in eqn 1
x = 2y = 2(21) = 42
x = 42
Thus natasha gets £ 42
