The three consecutive integers are -16, -14, -12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three consecutive even integers be;

x, x+2, x+4

According to given statement;

x+(x+4)=x+2+(-14)\\x+x+4=x+2-14\\2x+4=x-12\\\\2x-x=-12-4\\x=-16

The values are as follow;

-16,\ -16+2,\ -16+4\\-16, -14, -12

The three consecutive integers are -16, -14, -12.

Marcy and her sister watched a cartoon movie that was 2 hours and 18 minutes long. after the movie, they played a card game for
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

1:24pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Couple of ways to solve this. Here is one method
Convert all times to minutes and find the total number of minutes they spent on all 3 activities. Then convert to hours and minutes and subtract from the end time of 5;28 to get the start time of all activities which is also the start time of watching the movie (first activity)

So time spent:

Movie: 2 hours 18 minutes = 2 * 60 + 18 = 120 + 18 = 138 minutes
Card game: 34 minutes
Soccer: 1 hour 12 minutes = 1 * 60 + 12 = 72 minutes

Total time spent = 138 + 34 + 72 = 244 minutes = 4 hours and 04 minutes

Subtract 4:04 from 5:28 to get 1:24pm

Check
Movie watch starts at 4:04, ends at 1:24 + 2:18 or 3:42pm
Card game starts at 3:42pm ends at 3:42+0:34 ==> 4:16pm
Soccer starts at 4:16pm ends at 4:16pm + 1:12 ==> 5;28pm

Latasha can read 30 pages of economics in an hour. She can also read 20 pages of sociology in an hour. She spends 4 hours per da
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Her opportunity cost of reading 10 pages of sociology is 15 pages of Economics

Her opportunity cost of reading 18 pages of economics is 12 pages of sociology.

Step-by-step explanation:

For economics, Latasha reads 1 page in 2 mins (gotten by dividing the number of pages by the time taken to read it i.e 30 pages in 1 hr or 60 mins)

Her sociology is read 1 page in 3 mins (20 pages read in 60 mins)

To read 10 pages of sociology will take 30 mins. She will read 15 pages of Economics in the same time which is the opportunity cost.

In the same vein, It will take her 36 mins to read 18 pages of Economics at the same rate. This is the opportunity cost of reading 12 pages of Sociology (which she reads at 1 page in 3 mins).
