For this case we have the following data:
700 rabbits that represent 500% of the population of last year. So, to obtain the rabbit population of last year, we developed a rule of three:
700 -----------> 500%
x ---------------> 100%
Where x represents the rabbit population of last year.
Clearing x we have:
rabbits
In this way, last year there was a population of 140 rabbits.
Answer:
140 rabbits
Answer:
The three consecutive integers are 12, 13, 14.
Step-by-step explanation:
Encode the question in an equation. We are given two facts: (1) the three integers are consecutive, and (2) they relate to each other through a sum.
Pick any of the integers (first, second, or third) and call it n. Then write the two others correspondingly in terms of n. I pick the middle one as n, so the three consecutive integers are (n-1), n, (n+1). That's (1). As for (2), here is the fact:
Lo and behold, one equation with one unknown! Easy to solve for n to give us the middle integer, n:
The three consecutive integers are 12, 13, 14.
