Answer:

39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three consecutive odd numbers be:

x+2, x+4, x+6.

The sum of the consecutive numbers is 123 i.e

x+2 + (x+4) + (x+6) = 123

x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 123

3x + 12 = 123

Collect like terms

3x = 123 — 12

3x = 111

Divide both side by the coefficient of x i.e 3

x = 111/3

x = 37

Now let us find the value of the three odd numbers. This is illustrated:

1st : x + 2 = 37 + 2 = 39

2nd : x + 4 = 37 + 4 = 41

3rd : x + 6 = 37 + 6 = 43

The smallest of the three consecutive odd numbers is 39

Pls help question b
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer: 44

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5 of the slab are grey implies that 4/5 are yellow.

The ratio of grey to yellow is thus given as :

1/5 : 4/5

which is 1 : 4

Therefore , the ratio of grey to yellow is 1: 4

The total ratio = 1 + 4 = 5

To calculate the number of yellow , we use the formula

number of yellow = \frac{ratio of yellow}{total ratio} X  total number of slabs , that is

number of yellow = \frac{4}{5} X 55

number of yellow slab = 44
