The sum of three consecutive numbers is 87. What is the smallest of these numbers?

1 answer:

3 0

Consecutive integers area 1 apart
they are
x,x+1,x+2
sum is
x+x+1+x+2=87
3x+3=87
minus 3 both sides
3x=84
divide both sides by 3
x=28
x+1=29
x+2=30

the smallest number is 28

At a certain fast-food restaurant, 69 % of customers order a chicken sandwich, 46 % of customers order french fries, and 36 % of

Leviafan [203]

We have events:

A - <span>customer orders a chicken sandwich
</span>B - <span>customer orders french fries

and probabilities:

$P(A)=0.69\\\\P(B)=0.46\\\\P(A\cap B)=0.36$

so:

$P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)=0.69+0.46-0.36=\boxed{0.79}$

Scaler factor of 1/2

olasank [31]

Dilation by a scale factor of 1/2 followed by a translation of 1.5 units down.

<h3>What is dilation?</h3>

Dilation is a transformation, which is used to resize the object. Dilation is used to make the objects larger or smaller.

Here, △ HIJ are:

IH = 3

IJ = 4

then using the scale factor = 1/2 we get

Therefore, we have:

I'H '= 1.5

I'J '= 2

Hence, dilation by a scale factor of 1/2 followed by a translation of 1.5 units down.
