Answer:

 55

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the middle integer. Then the smallest is x-2 and the largest is x+2. Your requirement is that ...

  (x-2)/(x+2) > 2/3

  3x -6 > 2x +4 . . . . cross multiply

  x > 10 . . . . . . . . . . .add 6-2x

The smallest integer satisfying this requirement is x=11. The sum of the 5 integers is 5x = 55.

The smallest sum is 55.

on the first day of a trip, Ricky drove 800 miles in 20 hours. At that rate, how many miles did he drive in 1 hour?
mr Goodwill [35]

We are trying to find miles/hour, which shows that we are going to be dividing the total number of miles by the total number of hours. Thus, in this case, the miles/hour rate will be:

\dfrac{800 \,\textrm{miles}}{20 \,\textrm{hours}} = 40 \dfrac{\textrm{miles}}{\textrm{hour}}


He drove 40 miles in one hour.
