First, divide 153 by 3, because there are 3 consecutive odd numbers that sum to be 153, to get a sense of where to start. 

153÷3 (consecutive odd numbers)= 51

Then try adding consecutive odd numbers around 51 to get the sum of 153. 

Trial and Error:

51+ 53+ 55 ≠ 153
47+ 49 + 51 ≠ 153

Then finally: 

49 + 51 + 53= 153

Hope this helps!

It takes 54 minutes for 4 people to paint 6 walls. How many minuets does it take 6 people to paint 7 walls?
earnstyle [38]

It takes 42 minutes for 6 people to paint 7 walls

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

It takes 54 minutes for 4 people to paint 6 walls

To find: Minutes required for 6 people to paint 7 walls

If M_1 men can do W_1 work in D_1 days working H_1 hours per day and M_2 men can do W_2 work in D_2 days working H_2 hours per day, then

\frac{M_1D_1H_1}{W_1} = \frac{M_2D_2H_2}{W_2}

M = Number of men

D = Number of days

H = Number of hours per day

W = Amount of work

Here in this sum,

<em><u>54 minutes for 4 people to paint 6 walls</u></em>

H_1 = 54 minutes ; M_1 = 4 people ; W_1 = 6 walls

<em><u>Minutes required for 6 people to paint 7 walls</u></em>

H_2 = ? ; M_2 = 6 people ; W_2 = 7 walls

<em><u>Substituting the values in formula, we get</u></em>

\frac{54 \times 4}{6} = \frac{H_2 \times 6}{7}\\\\9 \times 4 = \frac{H_2 \times 6}{7}\\\\H_2 = \frac{36 \times 7}{6}\\\\H_2 = 42

Thus it takes 42 minutes for 6 people to paint 7 walls

How many unique planes can be determined by four noncoplanar points?
marta [7]

Answer:

Four unique planes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the points are non co-planar, triangular planes can be formed by the joining of three points

The points will therefore appear to be at the corners of a triangular pyramid or tetrahedron such that together the four points will form a three dimensional figure bounded by triangular planes

The number of triangular planes that can therefore be formed is given by the combination of four objects taking three at a time as follows;

₄C₃ = 4!/(3!×(4-3)! = 4

Which gives four possible unique planes.

What I the slope of the equation of the line below.
Goshia [24]

Answer:

<h2>the slope m = 3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture.

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

From the graph we have the points (0, 4) and (-2, -2). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{-2-4}{-2-0}=\dfrac{-6}{-2}=3

A crane is lowering a concrete block from a height of 270 feet above the ground at a constant rate of 2.5 feet per second. Which
iogann1982 [59]

The function would be h = 270 - 2.5s, where h is the height (in feet) and s it the time (in seconds) that has passed.

The 270 represents the initial value, which is given. We are told that the initial height of the block is 270 feet.

2.5s represents the feet that it has descended. We know the block is lowered at a rate of 2.5 feet per second. Multiplying this by s, the time, will give us how much it has descended.
