Answer:

Explanation:

Firstly, look at the root of a word, like pre, it often means before. There are many roots in english, including latin roots and greek roots, if you know most of them, then your answer must be correct.

Secondly, look at how a word ends, like ing, it means action, doing something. So looking at how it ends usually helps.

If you don't know, make a logical guess is a thing that helps too. You might be right!

The sum of two consecutive even integers divided by four is 189.5

Advocard [28]

Answer: The two consecutive even numbers are 378 and 380.

Explanation: to solve this problem we need to write an equation with only one unknown variable. To do that we know that when we have an even number, let's call it "x", to express the even number that follows we can write "x+2" because if we add two, to an even number, the result will be the next even number. So the sum of two consecutive even integers can be written as: x+(x+2), if we divide that by four, and make it equal to 189.5, we will have our equation and we can solve it as follows:

$\frac{x+(x+2)}{4} =189.5$
