So let n be the smallest number. To have consecutive even integers each number goes up by 2 so n, n+2, n+4, n+6, n+8.

Therefore, n+n+2+n+4+n+6+n+8=290

5n+20=290

5n=270

n=54

A 236 inch board is cut into two pieces. one piece is three times the length of the other. find the length of the two pieces

kirill [66]

let length of one piece = x

length of other piece = 236-x

one piece is three times the length of the other

x=3(236-x)

x=708-3x

4x=708

x=177

so first piece is 177 inches long and second piece is (236-177)= 59 inches long

Radius of a Circle Formula: r = d/2

r is radius
d is diameter

Area of a Circle Formula: A = πr²

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Diameter d = 18 units

Step 2: Manipulate Variables

Radius r = 18 units/2 = 9 units

Step 3: Find Area

Substitute in r [Area of a Circle Formula]: A = π(9 units)²
[Area] Evaluate exponents: A = π(81 units²)
[Area] Multiply: A = 81π units²

A fish with 68 meters at a constant speed in 8 minutes. On her homework assignment, Tracy said the fish traveled 60 meters per m

Natasha2012 [34]

Morgan is right because to find how much something is per minute you need to divide. In this case, you need to divide 68 and 8. The answer then is 8.5
