Answer: The numbers are 14, 16 and 18.

Step-by-step explanation: First thing to note is that consecutive even numbers have a difference of 2 units between every two terms. That is, if the first number is a, the next would be a + 2, and the next would be a + 4, and so on.

Therefore the three consecutive even numbers shall be a, a + 2, and a + 4.

Our equation now becomes;

a + a + 2 + a + 4 = 48

3a + 6 = 48

Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

3a = 42

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

a = 14

Therefore, the numbers are 14, 16 and 18.

Round 89,678 to the nearest hundred thousand
zmey [24]

Answer:

The nearest 100,000 of 89,678 would be 100,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

For me to simply put this, ignore the digits behind the commas.

You'll have 89, and imagine you have to get it to the nearest 100.

So when rounding / estimating, if the digit you're talking about is above 5, you round up. If it is below 5, you round down.

Since you have 89, you'd round up to a 100 because 89 is over 50.

Therefore you'd have 100,000 if you're rounding 89,678 to the nearest hundred thousand.
