Yes. that is the correct answer
You need to divide the 3 blocks of clay by the 4 friends. 3 goes in the dividend and the 4 is outside. 3 divided by 4 is equal to 0.75 or 3/4, so each friend gets 0.75 or 3/4 clay
Step-by-step explanation:
(Hope this explanation can ease your mind a little if possible! Alright let's go! :D)
Let n be the middle of the 3 consecutive even integers. Therefore, (n - 2) and (n + 2) are the smallest and largest of the 3 numbers respectively.
We know that (n - 2) + n + (n + 2) = 78,
so 3n = 78, and n = 78/3 = 26.
Since the middle number is 26, the smallest number is 26 - 2 = 24 and the largest number is 26 + 2 = 28.
