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

Mathematics
1 answer:
lidiya [134]2 years ago
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

Viefleur [7K]

Given :

The Mad Hat Company must ship two different-sized boxes: The small ones cost them 45 cents each and weigh 6 ounces, and the large ones weigh 25 ounces and cost $1.20 each.

The total shipment this morning weighed 20 pounds 7 ounces and cost $18.45.

To Find :

How many packages of each size were shipped.

Solution :

We know, 1 pound = 16 ounces.

So, 20 pound = 20×16 = 320 ounces.

Let, number of large and small box are l and s.

So,

25l + 6s = 327 ...1)

0.45s + 1.20l = 18.45 ...2)

Solving both the equations, we get :

x = 9 and y = 17

Therefore, package smaller and big size are 17 and 9 respectively .

Hence, this is the required solution.

What is a1? what is d? what’s the equation? what is a7? what is a59?
Zina [86]
Answer:

a1 = 2

d = 3

an = 2 + (n - 1) * 3

a7 = 20

a59 = 176

Steps:

a1 is the initial value (when n equals 1), and since there are 2 crosses, it is 2.

d is the added value to each amount of crosses. And since the second amount is 5 and the third amount is 8, we can determine that each n is adding 3 crosses, therefore making d = 3.

The equation is simply plugging in the values for a1 and d.

A7 is simply plugging in 7 for n in the equation and solving for it. So;

a7 = 2 + (7 - 1) * 3

a7 = 2 + 6 * 3

a7 = 2 + 18

a7 = 20

And same thing as the last for 59 except substitute 59 in for where you put 7;

a59 = 2 + (59 - 1) * 3

a59 = 2 + 58 * 3

a59 = 2 + 174

a59 = 176

Anna71 [15]
<span>The function which has a constant halving time is in the following form
</span>
A(t) = A_{0} ( \frac{1}{2} )^ \frac{t}{h}
Where:  A₀ is the <span>initial amount
              h   is the half life time or the halving time.
</span><span>              t    is the time
</span>              A(t) <span>the amount<span> that remains at time t
</span></span>
The previous function represents an Exponential decay<span> function.

A basket contains apples and oranges. some are ripe and some are not. 30% of the fruits are apples and 50% of the fruits are rip
Lynna [10]
Since 50% are ripe, and you know that 25% are ripe apples, you also can assume 5% of apples aren’t ripe. From that you know that 50% + 5% is ripe oranges, and apples. So 45% are not ripe oranges
