Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

consecutive even numbers are 2,4, 6...

Let the smallest of the 3 numbers be x.

2nd number= x+2

3rd number

=x+2+2

= x+4

sum of the 3 numbers= x +x+2 +x+4

114= 3x+6

3x= 114 -6 (-3 on both sides)

3x= 108 (simplify)

x= 108 ÷3

x= 36

Thus, the smallest number is 36.

Let's check!

36+38+40= 114 ✓

C. 01/100. .01 is in the hundredths place. So you put 2 0's on the denominator.

UkoKoshka [18]

Ok. he jogs 10 laps in a day and each lap is 40 m so 10 times 40 is 400
he jogs 400 meters in a day then multiply that by 5 for the week
400 times 5 is 2000
he jogs 2000 meters each week

Answer:

$\angle YPR = 42^o$

Step-by-step explanation:

Its given:

$\angle FPY = 90^o \\ \angle YPR + \angle FPR = 90^0 \\ 4p + 80 + 5p + 82 = 90^o \\ 9p = -72^o \\ p = -8 \\ \\ \angle YPR = 5(-8) + 82 = 42^o$
