Answer:
First set is 3,4 and 5
Second set is 1,2 and 3

Explanation:
Assume that the smallest number is n.
Since the three numbers are consecutive, this means that the other two numbers would be n+1 and n+2

Now, we know that the product of the larger two numbers is 1 less tan than 7 times the smallest.
This means that: 
(n+1)(n+2) = 7n - 1 .........> equation used to find the sets
n² + 2n + n + 2 = 7n - 1
n² + 3n + 2 = 7n - 1
n² + 3n + 2 - 7n + 1 = 0
n² - 4n + 3 = 0
(n-3)(n-1) = 0
This means that:
either n-3=0 ..........> n = 3
or n-1=0 ..........> n = 1

At n = 3:
The three numbers would be 3,4 and 5

At n = 1:
The three numbers would be 1,2 and 3

Hope this helps :)

As SCUBA divers go deeper underwater, the pressure from the weight of all the water above them increases tremendously which comp
slavikrds [6]

Answer: A.

As a diver rises, the pressure on their body decreases which allows the volume of the gas to decrease.

Explanation:

The problem is that a diver, experiences an increased pressure of water compresses nitrogen and more of it dissolves into the body. Just as there is a natural nitrogen saturation point at the surface, there are saturation points under water. Those depend on the depth, the type of body tissue involved, and also how long a diver is exposed to the extra pressure. The deeper a diver go, the more nitrogen the body absorbs.

The problem is getting rid of the nitrogen once you ascend again. As the pressure diminishes, nitrogen starts dissolving out of the tissues of the diver's body, a process called "off-gassing." That results in tiny nitrogen bubbles that then get carried to the lungs and breathed out. However, if there is too much nitrogen and/or it is released too quickly, small bubbles can combine to form larger bubbles, and those can do damage to the body, anything from minor discomforts all the way to major problems and even death.

Two differences between science activities carried out in a science laboratory and those carried out side of science laboratory.
viva [34]

In a science lab, there is the adequate availability of raw materials for experiments such as chemicals while outside a science lab there isn't.

In a science lab, the availability of apparatuses and sources of heat is higher than outside a science lab.

<h3>What is science laboratory?</h3>

The science lab is a place where the experiments related to the science background are performed with the use of apparatus.

The science lab has plenty of equipment to perform the experiment whether related to physics or chemistry or biology.

Thus, source of heat and availability of raw material and equipment are the differences between the science activities carried out in a science laboratory and those carried out side of science laboratory.
