What three even numbers add up to 54

Mathematics

My name is Ann [436]3 years ago

X = lowest
x+2 = middle
x+4 = largest

x +      x+2 +    x + 4 = 54

Combine like terms to get 3x + 6 = 54
Subtract 6 (both sides)     <u>      -6     -6
</u>                                       <u>3</u>x = <u>48</u>
divide by 3 (both sides)     3       3

x = 16 (smallest even number)   x+2 = 18 (middle even number and x+4 = 20 (largest even number)   Add them up 16+18+ 20 and sure enough, you get 54

The way I like to do these is like this ... without algebra:

-- If the 54 were split up into three <em><u>equal</u></em> pieces,
each piece would be 1/3 of 54 = 18 .

-- Can you take three equal size-18 pieces and change them in
such a way that they're all different but their sum doesn't change,
and they still add up to 54 ?

-- How about like this: 
<em>Take 2 away from one piece and glue it onto a different one</em>.
Now they still make the same 54 when you put them all into the same pot. 
But now they're all different ... instead of 18, 18, 18, now you have 16, 18, 20.

Look ma !  No algebra !

If you roll a fair six-sided die and a fair four-sided die, what is the probability that neither die shows a 1?
elena-s [515]
Answer in fraction form: 5/8
Answer in decimal form: 0.625

==============================================

Explanation:

There are 5 sides that aren't labeled "1" out of 6 total. So the probability of not rolling a "1" on the six-sided die is 5/6

Similarly, there are 3 sides that aren't labeled "1" out of 4 sides on the four-sided die. The probability of not rolling a "1" for this die is 3/4

Multiply the fractions
(5/6)*(3/4) = (5*3)/(6*4) = 15/24 = 5/8

The answer in fraction form is 5/8 which converts to 0.625 (use long division or a calculator)

Note: the multiplication of probabilities works because the two events (of rolling each die) are independent

Write the related multiplication sentence to solve 1/5 ÷ 3
MrRa [10]
To divide fractions, remember the phrase “keep, change, flip” so keep 1/5, change the division sign to a multiplication sign, and flip 3/1 to make it 1/3. the new equation is 1/5 x 1/3, and multiple top to top, and bottom to bottom. 1 x 1 = 1, and 5 x 3 = 15. the answer is 1/15 :)
