Answer:
14 and 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that two consecutive even numbers is 30.
Let's let n be <em>any number</em>.
Then the first <em>even</em> number must be 2n.
This is because n can be any number, either even or odd. However, if we multiply it by 2, this <em>ensures</em> that 2n is even. Remember that any number multiplied by 2 yields an even number.
Therefore, the consecutive even number will be (2n+2). Not (2n+1), because that gives an odd number.
We know that they sum to 30. So, we can write the following equation.

And we solve from there:

So, the value of n is 7.
Therefore, the first even number is 7(2)=14.
And the consecutive even number is 16.

Answer:
He will run 31.6 miles in two weeks.
Step-by-step explanation:
6 days a week = 2.3 miles
6 days · 2 weeks = 12 days total running 2.3 miles
1 day a week = 2 miles
1 day · 2 weeks = 2 days total running 2 miles
(12 · 2.3) + (2 · 2)
27.6 + 4
31.6 miles
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Note:
1 gal = 4 quarts
1 pint = 0.5 quart
Re-writing all the choices in dollars and quarts and calculating how much each quart costs
A) $1 per 1 quart
B) $2 per gallon = $2 per 4 quarts = $2 ÷ 4 quarts = $0.50 per quart
C) $1.50 per 2 quarts = $1.50 ÷ 2 quarts = $0.75 per quart
D) $0.50 per 1 pint = $0.50 per 0.5 quart = $0.50 ÷ 0.5 quart = $1 per quart
If you compare all of the above, it is clear that answer B ($0.50 per quart) is the cheapest rate and hence the best deal.
