Hey there! Hello!

So, to set this problem up, all you need to do is imagine that the smallest number of these consecutive integers is x. The next two numbers will be x+1, then x+2, and that, altogether, will equal 87. In a problem, this will look like this:

x+x+1+x+2=87

All we need to do is solve for x! We can simplify the problem by combining like terms:

x+x+x+1+2=3x+3=87
3x+3-3=87-3
3x/3=84/3
x=28

Now that we know what x is, we can plug it into our original problem:

x+x+1+x+2 = 28+29+30=87

Hope this helped you out! Feel free to ask me any additional questions if you need further clarification. :-)

If 1/2 cup of soup equals 120 milliliters, then how many milliliters are in 3 1/2 cups of soup?
pav-90 [236]
Ok. So since they give you that 1/2 cup of soup equals 120 milliliters it makes this very easy. So since we know 120milliliters=1/2 and that 3 1/2= 7 1/2s (please note that the 7  1/2s doesnt mean seven and 1/2 it means seven 1/2s) you just add 120 to itself 7 times getting an answer of 840. (please vote brainliest ^^)

Aidan writes numbers on his ten fingers as 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 16, 19, 22, 23. What is the probability of picking an even numbe
faltersainse [42]
It would be 2/10, or 1/5, since two out of the 10 numbers are even. 2/10 simplifies to 1/5, since there is 1 for every 5 numbers.

We could turn this into a percentage by dividing 1 by 5, which gives us 0.2. Then we can multiply by 100 to get 20.

So, our probability of choosing an even number is:
2/10
OR
1/5
OR
20%

Hope I could help!
