4 consecutive integers...z, z + 1, z + 2, z + 3

z + (z + 1) + (z + 2) + (z + 3) = 166...combine like terms
4z + 6 = 166
4z = 166 - 6
4z = 160
z = 160/4
z = 40

z + 1 = 40 + 1 = 41
z + 2 = 40 + 2 = 42
z + 3 = 40 + 3 = 43

so ur numbers are : 40,41,42,43 with the largest being 43

Answer:

3 1/2 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by figuring out how much sugar Karen needs in total.

She needs (1+1/3) cups for her original recipe. To triple that, we need (1+1/3) 3 times. We can calculate this by multiplying it by 3.

(1+1/3) * 3 = 3 + 1 = 4

Karen needs 4 cups in total. She has 1/2 cup. The difference is how much more she needs. Therefore, she needs 4 - 1/2 = 3 1/2 cups
