Answer:

Two options:

5,6, and 7

-1,0,and 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Three consecutive natural numbers can be represented as n, n+1, and n+2.

The product of the smaller two would be n(n+1). The less than 5 times the larger is 5(n+2)-5.

Set them equal and solve by factoring:

n(n+1) = 5(n+2) -5\\n^2+n = 5n+10 -5\\n^2+n = 5n+5\\n^2 -4n-5=0\\(n-5)(n+1)=0

Set each factor equal to 0.

n-5==0 so n=5.

n+1=0 so n=-1.

This means the 3 consecutive numbers would be 5,6, and 7

OR

-1, 0 or 1.

Question 2 (Essay Worth 10 points)
sashaice [31]
Ryan is correct, the mean is about 8.1.

To find the mean, you have to add up all the values, then divide by the total amount.

For Sample A:
60 x 6 + 90 x 7 + 145 x 8 + 150 x 9 + 55 x 10 = 4050

If you add up all the adults, you have 500.

Dividing 4050 by 500 = 8.1

Sample B will produce a very similar result.

What is the prime
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

It would be E.  

Step-by-step explanation:

30,030 can be divided into 10010 and 3. 10010 can be divided into 10 and 1001. 10 can be divided into 2 and 5, while 1001 can be divided into 13 and 77. 77 can divided into 7 and 11. This leads the prime factorization to be E, as it is 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 and 13.
