Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive means in a row

x = 1st number

x+1 = 2nd number

x+x+1 = 17

Combine like terms

2x+1 = 17

Subtract 1 from each side

2x+1-1=17-1

2x = 16

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 =16/2

x=8

x+1 = 9

The larger number is 9

Team tool Bella gathered 15 pounds of wood in 1/3 of an hour. What was their speed in pounds per hour.
allochka39001 [22]

Team tool Bella gathered 15 pounds of wood in 1/3 of an hour.

1/3 of an hour is equal to 1/3 of 60 mins = 1/3 * 60 mins = 20 mins

We have to find their speed in pounds per hour( 60 mins).

Pounds of woods gathered in 1 hour or 60 mins = 15/20*60

= 15 * 3

= 45 pounds

Therefore, their speed in pounds per hour is 45 pounds / hour

Hope this helps ..!!

Thank you :)
