There will be seven spaces between the 1st and the 8th post.
The distance between posts is 20 meters
The distance between the 1st and the 8th post is 20×7 = 140 metres
In simplest form, both top and bottom number cannot be divided into any smaller numbers. So, the calculation would be:
6/9 x 3/8
=(6x3)/(8x9)
= 18/72 ............................Divide both by 18
= 1/4
Consecutive integers are 1 more than the other.
If one of them is x.
The three would be x, x + 1, x + 2
Since the sum are 138
x + (x + 1) + (x +2) = 138
x + x + 1 + x +2 = 138
x + x + x + 1 + 2 = 138
3x + 3 = 138
3x = 138 - 3
3x = 135
x = 135/3
x = 47.
So the numbers are, x, x + 1, x + 2, = 47, 47 + 1 = 48, 47 + 2 = 49
The integers are 47, 48, and 49.
