Because the needed numbers are consecutive their average will be the middle number. Knowing this, just divide 72 by three, which would equal 24. 24 would be the middle number so, 23+24+25=72. The smallest of these is 23.

72:3=24
24-1=23
24+1=25

23+24+25=72
23 is the smallest

Reducing Fractions<br> 30/90
fgiga [73]

Answer: 1/3

<u>Divide</u>

30/90÷30/30=1/3

Since we are simplifying fractions we divide the numerator and the denominator by a number the fraction can go into.

We could use 10 then divide by 3. You can also just divide by 30 and get the answer.

Let's try dividing by 10 then 3!

30/90÷10/10=3/9

3/9÷3/3=1/3

As you can see we still get 1/3 when we divide by 3. Even tho you have to divide twice you still get 1/3. That's all that matters.

H(x)=14+0.08(50)

H(x)=14+4

H(x)=18

So it's 18 meters tall
