Answer:
18 and 20, 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Math reasoning 1:
Set the first number as x and the other one as x+2 because it is a consecutive even number.
x+x+2=38
2x=36
x=18
18+2=20
The 2 consecutive numbers are 18 and 20
Problem solving 1:
Write out equation first, set the unknown number as x
5+x=9
x=4
Answer:
7 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
the new height of the bush can be represented in percentage form as 100% + 40% = 140% = 1.40
1.40 x 5 = 7 feet
Method 2
find 40% of 5 feet
0.4 x 5 = 2
Add 5 + 2 = 7 feet
2.04 divided by 4 is £0.51 per roll
4.68 divided by 9 is £0.52 per roll
4 pack is better deal because the 9 pack is more per roll
