the sum of three consecutive numbers is 41 less than five times the largest number. find the largest number

ivann1987 [24]

Hi,

You can write your problem as an equation.

x - 2 + x - 1 + x = 5x - 41 ,

x being the largest number.
So,

3x - 3 = 5x - 41
3x - 5x = -41 +3
-2x = -38
2x = 38
x = 38/2 = 19

The largest number is 19.

Hope this helps! If my answer was not clear enough or you’d like further explanation please let me know. Also, English is not my first language, so I’m sorry for any mistakes.

12.48 milliliters of medicine were separated into doses of 4 mL each. how many doses were made?

ivolga24 [154]

The number of doses are $\boxed{\bf3}$ , if each dose quantity is 4 mL and total medicine is 12.48 mL.

Further explanation:

The total quantity of the medicine in millilitres is 12.48.

The quantity of one dose in millilitres is 4.

To find the number of doses possible from 12.48 millilitres quantity of medicine with each doses has 4 millilitres quantity is calculated by the use of division.

Here, dividend is the quantity of all medicine and divisor is the quantity of each doses.

Substitute, number 12.48 for dividend and number 4 for divisor then obtain the quotient by the use of division as shown below.

$\begin{aligned}4\mathop{\left){\vphantom{1{12.48}}}\right.\!\!\!\!\overline{\,\,\,\vphantom 1{{12.48}}}}\limits^{\displaystyle\hfill\,\,\, {3.12}} \hfill\\\,\,\,\,\,\,\underline{12 \downarrow }\hfill\\\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,04\hfill\\\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\underline{4\downarrow } \hfill\\\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,08\hfill\\\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\underline8\hfill\\\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,0\hfill\\\end{aligned}$

The quotient of the above division is 3.12.

The number of doses is always being in natural number.

It is observed that nearest natural number for 3.12 is 3.

Thus, the number of doses are $\boxed{\bf3}$ , if each dose quantity is 4 mL and total medicine is 12.48 ml.

An employee is paid $12.50 per hour plus

DIA [1.3K]

The slope of the graph would be 12.50, or 12.5. You can rewrite this problem out to "y=12.5x+1.5". Since the rate at which the graph is changing is 12.5, that is the slope.

For a certain font, the scale factor is 1.21 and one of the scale sizes is 1.772.

Igoryamba

The size of the next smaller scale wil about 1.464.

The scale factor represents the change between the different sizes. We multiply by it to increase and divide by it to reduce.

1.772 / 1.21 = 1.464
