When 36 people are seated the room is 2/3 full.
So for 1/3 , 18 people are needed
It will be 3/3 full if 54 people are present
So there can be 54 people in total
Now for the room to be 1/2 full , people will be 1/2 x 54 = 27 people
Answer with Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume the 2 consecutive natural numbers are 'n' and 'n+1'
Thus the product of the 2 numbers is given by

We know that the sum of 'n' consecutive natural numbers starting from 1 is

Thus from equation 'i' we can write

As we know that any number multiplied by 2 is even thus we conclude that the product of 2 consecutive numbers is even.
Ok so basically your going to subtract 57-8 which is 49. So now you have 7y=49 so now divide 49 by 7 which is 7. So your answer is 7 and to check your work substitute 7 for y so.... 7(7)+8=57 so 57=57 which is accurate
