Answer:

The first number is 138.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x.

Then since they are consecutive numbers, the second number will be (x + 1), the third (x + 2), the fourth (x + 3) and the fifth being (x + 4).

We are given that their sum is 700. Therefore:

$x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)+(x+4)=700$

Solve for x. Combine like terms:

$5x+10=700$

Subtract 10 from both sides:

$5x=690$

Divide both sides by five. Therefore:

$x=138$

The first number is 138.

Answer:

138

Step-by-step explanation:

(n) + (n+1) + (n+2) + (n+3) + (n+4) = 700

5n + 10 = 700

5n = 690

n = 138

Answer:

37.68cm

Step-by-step explanation:

C = 2 $\pi$ r

C = circumference

$\pi$ = the constant pi (3.14)

r = radius of the circle (6cm)

d = diameter of the circle (12cm)

d = 2r

C = 2 · 3.14 · 6

C = 37.68cm

Let event A = You roll an even number on the first cube.Let event B = You roll a 6 on the second cube.Are the events independent

Gnesinka [82]

The events are independent. By definition, it means that knowledge about one event does not help you predict the second, and this is the case: even if you knew that you rolled an even number on the first cube, would you be more or less confident about rolling a six on the second? No.

An example in which two events about rolling cubes are dependent could be something like:

Event A: You roll the first cube

Event B: The second cube returns a higher number than the first one.

In this case, knowledge on event A does change you view on event B (and vice versa): if you know that you rolled a 6 on the first cube you don't want to bet on event B, while if you know that you rolled a 1 on the first cube, you're certain that event B will happen.

Conversely, if you know that event B has happened, you are more likely to think that the first cube rolled a small number, and vice versa.
