Sum means add
sum of the 3 is
n+n+1+n+2
it add to 57
n+n+1+n+2=57
3n+3=57
minus 3 both sides
3n=54
divide both sides by 3
n=15
n+1=16
n+2=17
the integers are 15,16, and 17
Answer:
v=12
Step-by-step explanation:
3v-8v+7v=24
3v-v=24
2v=24
v=12
Answer:
b. the average is not equal to 12 ounces.
Step-by-step explanation:
a and is incorrect because being equal to 12 ounces is what we want.
c - we want to look for greater than 12 as well as less than.
To find c, you must isolate it.
To do this, you must divide both sides by 5/7, since that is being multiplied by c and you must do the inverse to it to cancel it out in order to leave c by itself.
5/7c ÷ 5/7 = c
13/14 ÷ 5/7
To divide fractions, follow these steps:
Step 1- Turn the second fraction, 5/7 in this case, into its reciprocal. This means swapping the places of the numerator and denominator.
5/7 reciprocal = 7/5
Step 2- multiply the original first fraction and reciprocal second fraction.
13/14 • 7/5
13 • 7 = 91
14 • 5 = 70
13/14 ÷ 5/7 = 91/70
Step 3- Simplify if possible.
91/70
Since 70 can go into 90, you can turn this into a mixed number.
1 and 21/70
Now simplify 21/70.
Both can be divided by 7.
21 ÷ 7 = 3
70 ÷ 7 = 10
So simplified, 91/70 equals 1 and 3/10.
As a decimal, this is 1.3.
So the answer is c = 1.3, or 1 and 3/10.
Hope this helps :)
