The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is one hundred fifty-nine

1 answer:

8 0

First remember that sum means to add. now think about the equation. we need to find 3 numbers that equal 159 when added together. And they are all consecutive odd numbers. so let's call the first number X. the second number would be X+2 since we have to jump over 1 even number. The third number would be X+4 since we have to jump over 2 even numbers. so now an equation to represent this would be X+(X+2)+(X+4)=159. Add like terms, and remember order of operations. if you need help getting the answers leave me a comment.

What is the area of a parallelogram with a base of 38 meters and a height of 12 meters?

8090 [49]

For this case we have by definition that the area of a parallelogram is given by:

$A = b * h$

Where:

b: It's the base

h: It's the height

According to the data we have:

$b = 38\ m\\h = 12 \ m$

Substituting in the formula:

$A = 38 * 12\\A = 456$

The area of the parallelogram is $A = 456 \ m ^ 2$

Answer:

$A = 456 \ m ^ 2$

The answer is: " 2 :5 " ; or, write as: " 2/5 " .
________________________________________________________
The ratio of 'girls' to 'all students' is: "2: 5 " ; or, write as: " 2/5 ".
________________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________________
Given: The ratio of boys to girls is: " 3:2 " .

Problem: Find the ratio of "girls" to "all students:
________________________________________________________
Note: This ratio of "boys to girls", which is " 3 : 2 " ;
________________________________________________________
→ can be expressed as " 3x: 2x" ;

in which the total number of students is: " 3x + 2x " = 5x " .

→ The total number of students is represented as: " 5x " .
________________________________________________________
→ The ratio of "girls to boys" is: "2x : 3x" .

→ {that is; the "inverse" of the ratio of "boys to girls"} ;
→ {that is; the "inverse" of " 3x: 2x" } ; → which is: " 2x : 3x " .
________________________________________________________

The ratio of "girls" to "all students" is: "2x : 5x " ; or " 2x/5x " ;
→ Both "x" values cancel ; {since: " x/x = 1 "} ;
_________________________________________________________
→ and we have the answer: " 2 :5 " ; or, write as: " 2/5 " .
_________________________________________________________
The ratio of 'girls' to 'all students' is: " 2 :5 " ; or, write as: " 2/5 ".
