"We buy gallons of gas, but liters of soda. We drive for miles but run the 400-meter dash. Discuss how or why this is true in ou
r country." I know that we buy gallons of gas but liters of soda because our vehicles need more gas than our bodies "need" soda, but I need help with the second part. :)
We drive for miles because the car is a machine with very small limitations and it takes in more substance that helps them go farther than us. We run the 400-meter dash because we didn't take in as much substance for us to have the energy and also we have more limitations than a car.
Let the consecutive even numbers be n and n+2. From given condition, n + n+2 = 66 2n = 64 ∴ n = 32. Therefore, the two consecutive even numbers are. n = 32 and n+2 = 34.
