Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of picking out a certain colour = 12/48 = 1/4

Hope this helps

vredina [299]

Answer:

0, 1, 2

Step-by-step explanation:

So, since there are three consecutive integers, you have the equations

x, x+1, x+2 where x is the smallest number.

The greatest of the three integers= x+2

Finish setting up your equation;

2(x+x+1)=x+2

Combine like terms;

2(2x+1)=x+2

Distribute;

4x+2=x+2

3x=0

x=0

x+1=1

x+2=2

Hope this helps:) Have a good day!
