Freya, a post office clerk, uses 2 yards, 1 foot, 7 inches of twine to wrap each damaged carton she repairs.
So,
2 yards 1 feet 7 inches means 2 yards 1 feet and 0.5833 feet
Means 2 yards feet
2 yards 1.5833 feet
So,
Means 2 yards and 0.528 yards = 2.528 yards
It means for 1 carton, she needs twine = 2.528 yards
So, for 17 carton, she needs twine =
It means she needs 42.976 yards twine.

SOLUTION:
x + x + 1 = 132 / 32
2x + 1 = 33 / 8
2x = 33 / 8 - 1
2x = 25 / 8
x = 25 / 8 / 2
x = 25 / 16
The first number is 25 / 16. Therefore, as the second number is consecutive we simply add 1 to the first number to achieve the second number as displayed below:
Second number:
= x + 1
= 25 / 16 + 1
= 36 / 16
= 9 / 4
ANSWER:
Therefore, the first number is 25 / 16 and the second number is 9 / 4.
Hope this helps! :)
