X = first integer, y = second integer (right after x)
since y is right after x, we can say
y = x+1
If the product of the two integers (x and y) is 42, then
x*y = 42
x*( y ) = 42
x*( x+1 ) = 42 ... y is replaced with x+1
x*x + x*1 = 42
x^2 + x = 42
x^2 + x - 42 = 0
(x + 7)(x - 6) = 0 ... factor
x + 7 = 0 or x - 6 = 0
x = -7 or x = 6
The result must be positive as the problem states it, so we toss out x = -7
The only answer is x = 6
If x = 6, then
y = x+1
y = 6+1
y = 7
The two consecutive numbers are 6 and 7
The final answer is 6
Sure enough, 6*7 = 42 checks out
12 x 46 = 552
5 x 380 = 1900
552 x 3.44 = 1900

Answer:
59.08
Step-by-step explanation:
1-2. The best estimate for the population mean would be sample mean of 60 gallons. Since we know that the sample mean is the best point of estimate. Since sample size n=16 is less than 25, we use the t distribution. Assume population from normal distribution.
3. Given a=0.1, the t (0.05, df = n – 1 = 15)=1.75
4. xbar ± t*s/vn = 60 ± 1.75*20/4 = ( 51.25, 68.75)
5. Since the interval include 63, it is reasonable.
