You can do cross multiplication: 5----40
8-----x

8 x 40 = 320

x = 320 / 5
x = 64

So 64 is your answer.

8 pounds of pears would cost 64.00 because 40/5=8.00-price per pear so 8 pounds x8= 64.00

The sun of three consecutive integers is 60 find the integers

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

let the three consecutive Integers be

x , x+1 , x+2

their sum is 60,

so,

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 60

→ 3x + 3 = 60

→ 3x = 60 - 3 = 57

→ x = 57/3 = 19

therefore, 1st integer = 19

2nd integer = x + 1 = 19 + 1 = 20

3rd integer = x + 2 = 19 + 2 = 21

so,

the three consecutive Integers are 19 , 20 and 21.

hope this answer helps you dear... take care and may u have a great day ahead!

I need help on this???

Aliun [14]

Use the geometric mean for right triangles here. Like this $\frac{9}{y}= \frac{y}{7}$ . Cross multiply to get $y^{2}=63$ , and $y= \sqrt{63}$ . That simplifies down to $y= \sqrt{9*7}$ . Pull out the 9 as a perfect square of 3 and you're left with $y=3 \sqrt{7}$ , first choice above.
