Answer:
18.5
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to divide. If you leave it as a fraction, you won't be able to simplify. You can check my answer by multiplying 18.5 * 2
12/99 is the fraction form
Since each odd (or even) is two greater than the previous number, two consecutive such numbers are n and n+2.
The we are told that the sum of two such number is 100, so we can say:
n+n+2=100 combining like terms on the left side you get:
2n+2=100
....
to solve, if you were interested...subtract 2 from both sides
2n=98 divide both sides by 2
n=49
So the two odd numbers are 49 and 51
