Question

Q1 determine the smaller of two integers whose sum equals -47

Answer 1

Question 1:

We have to identify the two smaller integers whose sum is equal to -47.

So, among these numbers '-23' and '-24' are the smaller numbers whose sum is as,

$-23+(-24) = -23-24= -47$.

Therefore, -23 and -24 are the required numbers.

Question 2:

We have to determine the larger consecutive integers whose sum is 85.

The larger consecutive numbers are 42 and 43 whose sum is as,

$42+43=85$.

Therefore, 42 and 43 are the required numbers.

Question 3:

We have to identify the three consecutive integers whose sum is 309.

The three consecutive integers are 102, 103 and 104 whose sum is as:

$102+103+104 = 309$.

The middle integer among 102, 103 and 104 is '103'.
