If we let n represent the first number, then n + 1 is the next consecutive whole number, and n + 2 is the third number in the sequence. n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 3n + 3. If we solve the equation 3n + 3 = 111, we find that n = 36. Therefore, Mark is 36 years old, Taylor is 37 years old, and Brian is 38 years old.
Z = y + 1 y = x + 1 x + y + z = 111 --- put the system of linear equations into standard form --- y - z = -1 x - y = -1 x + y + z = 111 --- copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver: https://sooeet.com/math/system-of-linear-equations-solver.php --- solution: x = mark = 36 y = taylor = 37 z = brian = 38
Since the radius is the same but the height changes, the volume would change by the multiple of the height. In this case the volume of the larger cone would be 4 times as large as the smaller cone so you would need 4 small cones
