The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 96. What is the smallest of the three numbers

1 answer:

8 0

The answer is 30.

First off, the numbers are consecutive even numbers. So, the difference between every consecutive number is 2 (numbers go from even to odd to even to odd...). Since the sum of their numbers is 96, I divided that by 3 to get 32. This gives me the median of the three numbers. To find the smallest number, I simply subtracted 2 from the 32.

This may help:

96/3=32

32 + 32 + 32 = 96
(32-2)+(32+0)+(32+2)=96
30+32+34=93

An integer is chosen random between 1 to 100. find the probability that it is divisible by 8

arlik [135]

Answer: 0.12

x is the number which is chosen

The number of ways to choose x from 1 to 100 is 100 (ways)

because x is divisible by 8 => x ∈ {8; 16;...; 96}

=> the number of terms divisible by 8 from 1 to 100 is (96 - 8)/8 + 1 = 12

the number of ways to choose x which is divisible by 8 is 12 (ways)

=> the probability that x is divisible by 8 is 12/100 = 0.12
