We can start this problem by finding out what the lowest consecutive number's value is (x). Since consecutive numbers are numbers that are 1 apart from each other, the sum of 9 consecutive numbers would look like
x + (x+1) + (x+2) + (x+3) + (x+4) + (x+5) + (x+6) + (x+7) + (x+8)
Since we know that they equal 153,
x + (x+1) + (x+2) + (x+3) + (x+4) + (x+5) + (x+6) + (x+7) + (x+8) = 153
Now we combine like terms
9x + 36 = 153
Simplify
9x = 117
x = 13
Now, we need to find what the 5th consecutive number is equal to. The fifth consecutive number is (x+4), so 13 + 4 is 17, meaning that the 5th of 9 consecutive numbers that add up to 153 is 17.
Hey there!!
Given:
... A=3B+7C
Subtracting 7C on both sides:
... A-7C=3B
Dividing by B on both sides:
... (A-7C)/3=B
<em>Hope my answer helps!</em>
Answer:
D: 768
Step-by-step explanation:
First, he divides a piece of paper in half.
He gets two pieces.
Next, he cuts each of the pieces into three parts.
Thirdly, he cuts each of the 6 pieces into 8 pieces.
Lastly, he divides each piece into 16 parts.
He has 768 pieces in the end. (D)
Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of a sector of a circle use the next formula:
As the given circle has a outside angle 90º (it is not part of the sector of the circle) subtract the 90º from 360º (total angle of a circle) to find the angle of the sector:
Find the area of the sector with angle 270º:
Then, the approximate area of the given sector of a circle is 284.955 square inches
