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

Answer:

x = 9.9 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

area of triangle = base * height /2

49*2 = x^2

98 = x^2

\sqrt{98} = x

Ruben bought 6 new books for his collection. This increased his collection by 12%. How many books does he have now?
Helen [10]
Let's create a variable to represent the size of Ruben's book collection prior to his buying the new books.  

B = number of books in Ruben's collection before buying new ones

So, we know that when he bought 6 books, this increased his collection by 12%.

12% of his book collection would be represented by 0.12B.  Therefore, we know that:

0.12B = 6

Divide both sides by 0.12, to get to B = 50.

However, you are being asked how many books does he have now.  B represents the number of books he had before.  Therefore you want to add back the 6 books he just bought.

The answer is 50 + 6 = 56
