2/5 as
5 - 7/1 - 6 = -2/-5. Dividing a negative number by a negative gives you a positive so 2/5.
2/3=.6 repeating
12/.6 repeating = 18
13 balls of yarn would be used to make 18 scarves.
Let the smallest integer be x
x + (x+2) + (x+4) + (x+6) = 288
4x +12 =288
4x= 276
x = 69
The integers are 69, 71, 73 and 75
The answer is x=-23 if the last two numbers (the 4 and the 6: 4 6) are being multiplied.
