Answer with Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume the 2 consecutive natural numbers are 'n' and 'n+1'
Thus the product of the 2 numbers is given by

We know that the sum of 'n' consecutive natural numbers starting from 1 is

Thus from equation 'i' we can write

As we know that any number multiplied by 2 is even thus we conclude that the product of 2 consecutive numbers is even.
Answer:
25/64
Step-by-step explanation:
To get this answer, first you need to use the distributive property:
(-3/8)(-5/8) - (1/4)(-5/8)
Next, multiply:
15/64 - (-5/32)
Change the negative signs into a positive sign:
15/64 + 5/32
Multiply 5/32 by 2 on both top and bottom:
15/64 + (5)(2)/(32)(2)
You will then get:
15/64 + 10/64
Now, add the numerators. You will get:
25/64
This is your answer. I hope it helped!
These 'l l' lines mean absolute value. essentially it's asking how many units away from 0 a number is. Because of this all absolute values are positive numbers
l-18l=18
10 I think because 10+10+8+8=36 and 8 is 2 less than 10
3/8 + 5/2
=3/8 + 20/8
= 23/8
or
= 2 7/8
