Answer: 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the six consecutive even numbers be x , x+2 , x+4 ,x+6 ,x+8 ,x+10.

Then According to the question , we have

x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)+(x+8)+(x+10)=270\\\\\Rightarrow\ x+x+2+x+4+x+6+x+8+x+10=270\\\\\Rightarrow\6x+30=270\\\\\Rightarrow\ 6x=270-30\\\\\Rightarrow\ 6x=240\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=40

Now, the second number from the above six consecutive even numbers  is x+2.

Substitute the value of x in it, we get

The second number in this sequence = x+2=40+2=42

How many times does 9 go int 67
AnnZ [28]


°° Awesome question!

I'll show you how to solve this kind of question:

First, you can multiply 9 times any number to see if it's smaller than 67. If it is, it is OK to keep multiplying 9 by more numbers. Let's try this!

9 × 1 obviously equals 9, so we can keep going up.

9 × 2 = 18. Not quite there yet!

Sometimes it is OK for you to skip some numbers, Watch:

9 × 5 = 45. We can keep going. At this point you don't need to go backwards and do 9 × 3 or 9 × 4, because the products will only get farther away from 67.

9 × 6 = 54. We're getting closer!

Let's try to skip one number:

9 × 8 = 72 - HOLD UP! Oh no! We went over a little too much!

Let's try a number in between 6 and 8 - That would be 7, right?

9 × 7 = 63 - We were right on point! Obviously you can't multiply 9 by 8 again because you would get a bigger number - the 72.

__________________________________________________________

That was just one way to go about it, but there's another way, too!

You can divide 9 by 67 and see what you get. You may have a remainder, but you can just throw that out the window when we're all done:

9 ÷ 67 = 7.4444444444444444 The 4 just repeats on and on again, and we don't want that. So just throw those 4's out the window so you're left with 7.

Based on all this work, 9 goes into 67 7 times.

A bag contains 2 red, 4 blue, and 4 yellow marbles. What is the probability of pulling a red marble, putting the marble back, an
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Red: 1/5 or 0.2 or 20% (depends if the question asked you to give the answer in fraction/decimal/percentage. Either way, it's still correct)

Black: 0

Blue: 2/5 or 0.4 or 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

In total, the bag contains 10 balls,

  • 2 are Red = 2/10 = 1/5

  • There are no black marbles so you have 0 chance of pulling them out.

  • 4 are blue = 4/10 = 2/5

Two mountain bikers take off from the same place at the same time. One travels north at 4 mph, and the other travels east at 3 m
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

20 miles (Answer B)

Step-by-step explanation:

The northbound biker travels (4 mph)(4 hr) = 16 mi, and

the eastbound biker travels (3 mph)(4 hr) = 12 mi.

They travel at right angles to one another.  Thus, the Pythagorean Theorem applies here.  The distance between the two bikers is d = √( [12 mi]^2 + [16 mi]^2 ), or √(144 + 256) mi, or √400 mi, which works out to 20 miles.

Answer B is correct.

How to write 1.075 in expanded form
mihalych1998 [28]
Expanded form just means to expand the number out. To change this in to expanded form you just need to do the following:-

1.000 + 0.0 + 0.07 + 0.005 = 1.075.
