You would multiply by the reciprocal (flip the fraction)
5/3 * 24 = 40
b = 40
I think its 15+y or 15y im not surw
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n = a number and 2n = an even number, then ...
Let 2n + 1 = the first of three consecutive odd numbers.
Let 2n + 3 = the second of three consecutive numbers.
Let 2n + 5 = the third of three consecutive odd numbers.
Since it's given that the sum of our three consecutive odd numbers is 45, then we can write the following equation to be solved for the variable n:
(2n + 1) + (2n + 3) + (2n + 5) = 45
2n + 1 + 2n + 3 + 2n + 5 = 45
Collecting like-terms on the left, we get:
6n + 9 = 45
Now, subtracting 9 from both sides in order to begin isolating the unknown, n, on the left side:
6n + 9 - 9 = 45 - 9
6n + 0 = 36
6n = 36
Now, divide both sides by 6 in order to solve the equation for n:
(6n)/6 = 36/6
(6/6)n = 36/6
(1)n = 6
n = 6
Therefore, ...
2n + 1 = 2(6) + 1
= 12 + 1
= 13
2n + 3 = 2(6) + 3
Q) <span>If 365 work days are split among 12 employees evenly
Part A: To understand this question, you need to read carefully and pick out key words that tells you what to do. All math word / puzzle problems have key words that tell you what you need to do.
For instance, the key word split tells us we need to divide. So, we know we have 365 work days that need to be split among 12 employees. So for Part A:
365 / 12
For Part B it wants to know what this represents. It represent the number of days each of the 12 employees will get if split evenly among each employee. </span>
