<h3>Answer:  12</h3>

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

Work Shown:

x = first number

x+1 = second number

x+2 = third number

x+3 = fourth number

x+4 = fifth number

Note how the numbers are one after another. Consecutive numbers follow this pattern. For example: 6,7,8,9,10 are consecutive numbers. One number follows right after the other.

---------------

Add up those five expressions. Set the sum equal to 70 and solve for x

(x)+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)+(x+4) = 70

(x+x+x+x+x)+(1+2+3+4) = 70

5x+10 = 70

5x = 70-10

5x = 60

x = 60/5

x = 12 is the first number and the smallest number

x+1 = 12+1 = 13 is the second number

x+2 = 12+2 = 14 is the third number

x+3 = 12+3 = 15 is the fourth number

x+4 = 12+4 = 16 is the fifth number

Check:

12+13+14+15+16 = 70

which confirms our answer

-----------------

You could use a guess and check method, but the algebraic approach is much more efficient.

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

3.3 kilometers to miles is 2.0505. I'm not sure if this question want you to round, but if it does, the answer would be 2 miles.

To get your approximate answer, multiply 3.3 (kilometers) by 0.62 (miles).

You get 2.046 if you multiply it by 0.62 like the question says to do.
