Answer: 25 and 26

Step-by-step explanation: This problem states that the sum of two consecutive integers is 51 and it asks us to find the integers. Two consecutive integers can be represented as followed.

X ⇒ first integer

X + 1 ⇒ second integer

Since the sum of our two con consecutive integers is 51, we can set up an equation to represent this.

X + X + 1 = 51

Now, we can simplify on the left side of our equation.

2x + 1 = 51

-1 -1 ← subtract 1 on both sides

2x = 50

÷2 ÷2 ← divide both sides by 2

X = 25

X + 1 = 26

Therefore, our two consecutive integers are 25 and 26.

This problem is simply asking us to add the weights which are presented as fractions. You can easily get the answer if you input them directly in a calculator. But I think the challenge here is to manually add fractions.

Let's add the two 1/4 lb weights because it is easier for they have a common denominator. Just simply add the numerators.

1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4

Then, add with this the fraction part of 2 1/5.

2/4 + 1/5 = ?
The least common denominator is 4*5 = 20. Then divide 20 with each denominator and multiply to their respective numerator.

2/4 + 1/5 = [(20/4 * 2) + (20/5 *1)]/20 = 14/20

14/20 is simplified to 7/10. Then add the whole number 2. Therefore, the sum of all weights is 2 7/10 pounds.
