Let the first number be x
first number = x
<span>
Second is 7 more than the first
</span>second number = x + 7
<span>
The third is 2 more than 4 times the second
</span>third number = 4(x+7)+ 2  = 4x + 28 + 2 = 4x + 30

<span>sum of three numbers is 8.5
</span>x + x + 7 + 4x + 30 = 8.5
6x  + 37 = 8.5
6x = 8.5 - 37
6x = -28.5
x = - 4.75

first number = x = -4.75
second number = x + 7 = 2.25
third number = 4x + 30 = 4(-4.75) + 30 =11

They are -4.75, 2.25 and 11

1 1/4mi = ft, can someone explain this to me
skelet666 [1.2K]
First off, we'll convert the mixed fraction to "improper" and check about, keeping in mind that, there are 5280 feet in 1mile.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{1\frac{1}{4}~mi}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 4+1}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{5}{4}~mi}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------

\bf \begin{array}{ccll}&#10;feet&miles\\&#10;\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\&#10;5280&1\\&#10;f&\frac{5}{4}&#10;\end{array}\implies \cfrac{5280}{f}=\cfrac{1}{\quad \frac{5}{4}\quad }\implies \cfrac{5280}{f}=\cfrac{\frac{1}{1}}{\quad \frac{5}{4}\quad }&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{5280}{f}=\cfrac{1}{1}\cdot \cfrac{4}{5}\implies \cfrac{5280}{f}=\cfrac{4}{5}\implies \cfrac{5280\cdot 5}{4}=f\implies 6600=f
