Answer: 10, 11, 12
Step-by-step explanation: Think of the integers like this:
1st integer: x
2nd integer: x+1
3rd integer: x+2
That is necessary because they are consecutive integers. Since the sum is 33, we need to create an equation.
x+x+1+x+2=33.
Simplify:
3x+3=33.
Opposite operations:
3x=-3+33.
To get the 3 close to the 33, we needed to make it negative, which is the opposite operation of the positive 3.
So,
3x=30.
Divide by 3:
x=10.
The first integer, x, equals 10.
To go with the guide that we already created,
1st integer: x=10
2nd integer: x+1=11
3rd integer:x+2=12.
Therefore, the three consecutive integers are 10, 11, and 12.
To check that, add them up. They all equal 33 and they are consecutive, which means this is the right answer!
The decrease is 25% so this means that 22 is 75% of the original number (100% - 25% = 75%)
Divide 22 by 75%:
22/ 0.75 = 29.3
The answer is 29.3
Answer: She should buy 3 bottles
Step-by-step explanation: 1 quart = 4 cups. 4x3=12
Problem 1
<h3>Answer: 7.3</h3>
Explanation: Apply the square root to the area to get the side length. This only applies to areas that are squares (hence the name).
==================================================
Problem 2
<h3>Answer: C) 1.3</h3>
Explanation: Use your calculator to find that choices A,B,D plugged into the square root function yield terminating decimal values. "Terminating" means "stop". This implies that they are perfect squares (though not perfect squares in the sense of whole number perfect squares which you may be used to). Choice C is the only value that has a square root that leads to a non-terminating decimal. The digits of this decimal go on forever without any pattern. The value is irrational.
- sqrt(5.29) = 2.3 terminating decimal
- sqrt(13.69) = 3.7 terminating decimal
- sqrt(1.3) = 1.140175425 keeps going forever without any pattern
- sqrt(0.09) = 0.3 terminating decimal
==================================================
Problem 3
<h3>Answer: 23.6 feet approximately</h3>
Explanation: Apply the square root to 15.5 to get roughly 3.937; this is the approximate side length of one square. Six of these tiles placed together will lead to a total length of roughly 6*3.937 = 23.622 which rounds to 23.6 feet. Like with problem 1, the square root being used like this only works for square areas.
