<h3>Given :-</h3>

  • Sum of three consecutive even numbers = 114

<h3>To Find :-</h3>

  • The smallest number .

<h3>Solution :-</h3>

Let the three consecutive even numbers be x, x + 2 and x + 4 .

\longrightarrow  \rm x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 114

\longrightarrow \rm 3x + 6 = 114

\longrightarrow \rm 3x = 108

\longrightarrow \bf x = 36

Smallest number = 36

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's let n be any number.

If we multiply n by 2, we get 2n. Since anything multiplied by 2 is even, 2n <em>must</em> be even. Therefore, let 2n be our first number.

So, the consecutive even number will be (2n+2) followed by (2n+4).

We know that their sum must be 114. Therefore, we can write the following equation:

(2n)+(2n+2)+(2n+4)=114

Solve for n. Combine like terms on the left:

6n+6=114

Subtract 6 from both sides:

6n=108

Finally, divide both sides by 6. Therefore, the value of n is:

n=108/6=18

Therefore, our first even number is 2n or 2(18) which equates to 36.

And the consecutive even numbers will be 38 and 40.

So, the smallest of them, the first term, is 36.

Can anyone help me????

Answer:

Ed used 39/60 of one hour to complete his tasks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the least common denominator (LCD), which would be 20

Then, find how to get from 5 to 20 and 4 to 20.

Use division.

20/5 = 4, 20/4 = 5

After this, multiply the numerator to the according number.

2*4 = 8 = 8/20

1*5 = 5 = 5/20

Make the denominator 60 to represent 60 minutes in one hour

5/20*3/3 = 15/60

8/20*3/3 = 24/60

Add the two results.

15/60 + 24/60 = 39/60
