ANSWER:
d = 15
The swimmer swam 48 kilometres in 15 days.
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
Let d = total no. of days the swimmer swam
Total no. of kilometres swam = 48
Average no. of kilometres swam daily = 3.2
THEREFORE:
3.2d = 48
d = 48 / 3.2
d = 15
Based on your problem, you only have one given. So, you can't make an equation for this because there are not limits to the equation. The only thing that you know is that the three numbers are consecutive even integers. My way of solution for this is trial-and-error. However, it's really quite easy.
For example: 42 + 46 = 88. I have to increase the numbers more to reach 136. Suppose: 82 + 86 = 168. That exceeded 136. So, it must be between 46 and 82. Suppose again: 66 + 70 = 136. Therefore, the sequence of the consecutive even integers are 66, 68, and 70.
First find out how many customers you talk to in an 8 hr shift
Rate is (8cs/hr)(8hr)=64 customers
So to increase by 20%, multiply the total number of customers by 120%, all the customers before plus the 20%, so (64)(1.2)=76.8, or 77 customers
M = 9
7 times 9 equals 63 and then you add 8 it equals 71.
7x9=63+8=71
6 bc there would be 2 girls and 3 boys on each team
