Answer:

Denote 3 consecutive numbers as: (n-1), n, (n+1)

=> n - 1 + n + n + 1 = 498

=> 3*n = 498

=> n = 166

=> n + 1 = 166 + 1 = 167

=> 3rd number is 167

Han and Tyler both started walking toward each other from opposite ends of a 18-mile path. Han walks at a pace of 4 miles per ho

First, you can add up 4+2 to get 6 because they’re both rates.

Next, divide 18 by 6 and you get 3.

So, it will take three hours for the boys to meet up.

One way to check your answer is to multiply 4x3=12 and 2x3=6 and 12+6 is 18.
