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.
Weight of one large bead is 1.5 grams and weight of one small bead is 8.75 grams.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
Weight of one large bead = x
Weight of one small bead = y
According to given statement;
12x+8y=88 Eqn 1
5x+2y=25 Eqn 2
Multiplying Eqn 2 by 4
Subtracting Eqn 1 from Eqn 3
Dividing both sides by 8
Putting x=1.5 in Eqn 1
Dividing both sides by 8
Weight of one large bead is 1.5 grams and weight of one small bead is 8.75 grams.

Remember SOHCAHTOA
Sine- opposite/hypotenuse
Cosine- adjacent/hypotenuse
Tangent- opposite/adjacent
Look at the angle (x) you are trying to figure out and pick which one of these it is.
In your calculator, do the equation first to get a decimal
Then press whichever one you chose on the calculator, so if you got like 0.2 by doing opposite/adjacent for tangent, you would type in 0.2 and then the TAN button
hope this makes sense!!
Answer:
Students
Step-by-step explanation:
Teachers: 13/20= 0.65 = 65%
Students: 37/50= 0.74 = 74%
74% > 65%
Students are more in favor of the new club than teachers
