There are 14 thirds in 4 2/3
here's the solution,
let the length of shorter peice = x
then the lenght of longer peice = 6x + 8
now, we know that the sum of length of peices measures 99 feet,
So,
=》x + 6x + 8 = 99
=》7x = 91
=》x = 13
shorter piece length = 13 feet
longer peice length = 13 × 6 + 8 = 78 + 8 = 86 feet
The answer is c!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Consecutive numbers would be like 2 and 3, or 7 and 8.
All we need to do is keep multiplying pairs of consecutive numbers until we get above 50.
1 × 2 = 2 (that's one.)
2 × 3 = 6 (two)
3 × 4 = 12 (three)
4 × 5 = 20 (four)
5 × 6 = 30 (five)
6 × 7 = 42 (six...)
<em>7 × 8 = 56 > 50</em>
We have a total of 6 numbers that equal the product of 2 consecutive intergers<em>
