If n stands for the smallest number, then the second and third number would be (n + 1) and (n + 2)

Write the equation based on what are given
the sum of three numbers = 72
n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 72

Then, solve the equation
n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 72
3n + 3 = 72
3n = 72 - 3
3n = 69
n = 69/3
n = 23

The smallest number is 23

krok68 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 ways to proceed further.

Option A is with using the random number table.

  1. Let us assume that each gravestone has  a unique number between 1 and 55914.
  2. Choose a row at random from  the table.
  3. Take the first number consisting of 5 digits, if the number corresponds with a number between 1 and 55914, then select the corresponding plot, otherwise move on to the next 5 digit-number.

Repeat until 395 gravestones have been selected.

Option B is with using any calculator with capability of generating random integer. Here  for example consider any TI series programmable calculator.

  • Enter the following command into your calculator:

                                   randInt(1,55914,395)

  • The first and second number are the lower and upper limits between which the values have to lie.
  • The third number is the number of required selections.
