Start by calling the first whole number n. Then the next whole number after that is n + 1, the one after that is n + 2, etc. The nine consecutive whole numbers add up to 153, so


n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) + (n + 3) + (n + 4) + (n + 5) + (n + 6) + (n + 7) + (n + 8) = 153


Combine like terms and simplify.


9n + 36 = 153

9n = 117

n = 13 The first number is 13.


The 5th number, n + 4, has the value 13 + 4 = 17.

We can start this problem by finding out what the lowest consecutive number's value is (x). Since consecutive numbers are numbers that are 1 apart from each other, the sum of 9 consecutive numbers would look like


x + (x+1) + (x+2) + (x+3) + (x+4) + (x+5) + (x+6) + (x+7) + (x+8)


Since we know that they equal 153,


x + (x+1) + (x+2) + (x+3) + (x+4) + (x+5) + (x+6) + (x+7) + (x+8) = 153


Now we combine like terms


9x + 36 = 153


Simplify


9x = 117


x = 13


Now, we need to find what the 5th consecutive number is equal to. The fifth consecutive number is (x+4), so 13 + 4 is 17, meaning that the 5th of 9 consecutive numbers that add up to 153 is 17.

11. A square-shaped floor is covered with congruent square tiles. If the total number of tiles that lie on the two diagonals is
natita [175]

361 congruent square tiles would be needed to cover the square shaped floor.

<h3>Equation</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Since the number of tiles lying on both diagonals is 37. Let x represent the number of tiles on each side.

Counting one tile twice, there are:

  • 37=2x-1
  • x=19 tiles on each side.

19² = 361

361 congruent square tiles would be needed to cover the square shaped floor.

The following graph represents the distance a commercial airplane travels over time, at cruising speed and an altitude of 35,000
ANEK [815]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The picture of the question in the attached figure</em></u>

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form k=\frac{y}{x} or y=kx

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

Let

x ----> the time in hours

y ----> the distance in miles

<em>Find the value of k</em>

For the point (4,2268)

k=\frac{2,268}{4}=567\ mph

The slope represent the speed of the airplane

so

The linear equation is

y=567x

Part 1 :

The point (0,0) represents the starting point of the aircraft, when the time and distance are equal to zero. The cruising starts when time t = 0.

Part 2 :

The  point  (4, 2268) represents the plane after 4 hours of cruise , and shows it has traveled a distance of 2268 miles after 4 hours
