Answer:

The smallest number is 88

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the first consecutive even number

x+2 --->the second consecutive even number

we know that

The linear equation that represent this problem is given by

x+(x+2)=178

solve for x

2x=178-2\\2x=176\\x=88

so

x=88\\x+2=88+2=90

therefore

The smallest number is 88

Divide 2/7 by 1/3 please help me
nlexa [21]

Answer:

6/7

Step-by-step explanation:

i am not sure if your question cut off but i am going to answer what i see on my side of the screen.

2/7 divided by 1/3 is the same as 2/7 times 3/1; since we multiply by the reciprocal when we divide fractions.

Therefore,

2/7 * 3/1 = 6/7
