let us take the smallest integer as x
the second smallest as x+1
and the largest as x+2
since the sum is -204 we should add all of it to get the answer
therefore x+x+1+x+2=-204
3x+3=-204
3x=-204-3
3x=-207
x=-207/3
x=-69
the largest number is x+2
therefore the largest number is -67
to check whether it is right just add them and check whether we get - 204
therefore -69+-68+-67=
-204
therefore the answer is -67

Answers: Choice A and Choice C</h3>
Explanation:
Think of the vertical lines as train tracks (the metal rails).
Stuff between the rails are interior angles.
Angles 3 and 6 are one pair of alternate interior angles because they are on alternating sides of the transversal line. The other pair of alternate interior angles are angles 4 and 5.
Alternate interior angles are congruent when we have parallel lines like this.
Assuming the man works 8 hours straight without breaks:
25% is the same as 1/4 of something.
So, we just have to figure out what 1/4 (one quarter) of 8 equals.
You can think of it as a pizza cut into 8 slices. One slice is equivalent to one hour for the patrolman.
If we take away 1/2 (half) of the pizza, we have 4 slices, right? Since we start with 8 slices, half of that equals 4 slices. In other words, 50% (half) of the pizza = 4 slices.
Now, 25% (one quarter) of the pizza will equal half of what is left:
If we know that 50%=4 slices (or 4 hours), then 25% must be 2 slices (or 2 hours).
That's it! 25% of 8 hours = 2 hours.
***So, the patrolman spends 2 hours each day completing paperwork.***
Lets check our work:
We know 8 hours (or 8 slices)= 100%
(We know this because
8 slices = 1 whole pizza, or 100% of a pizza. Similarly,
8 hours = 1 whole shift or 100% of the man's shift ).
So
25% + 25% + 25% + 25% = 100%
If 100% of the mans shift = 8 hours:
2+2+2+2 = 8
It checks out!
Hope this helps!
