Consecutive means in order. So let's call the first integer x. The next number in line would be x+1 and the largest integer would be x+2. Let's prove that so you're not confused. If x is 3, then x+1 is 4 (next in line), and x+2 is 5 next after that. See? So if we add all those together we set them equal to 267 and solve for x: x + x+1 + x+2 = 267. Combining like terms gives us 3x + 3 = 267 and 3x = 264. Now dividing both sides by 3 we get that x = 88. That's the smallest integer; the largest is found by adding 88 + 2 which is 90. So that means that the numbers are 88, 89, 90, and that adding them up = 267. Let's check that now: 88+89+90=267 so we're good.

Answer:
13/60 was left of the ice cream.
Step-by-step explanation:
4/5 was left after the first, which can also be written as 16/20. 16/20 - 1/4 (also written as 5/20), which leaves 11/20 which can also be written as 33/60. 33/60 - 1/3 (also written as 20/60) which leaves 13/60 left.
Answer: 1008 letters
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, last Monday, a local mail carriers delivered 1,344 pieces of mail and of all the deliveries they made, 1 / 6 were magazines, 1 / 12 were packages, and the rest were letters. The fraction of letters will be:
= 1 - (1/6 + 1/12)
= 1 - (3/12)
= 9/12 = 3/4
We will now multiply 3/4 by 1344 to get the number of letters delivered.
= 3/4 × 1344
= 1008 letters
Answer:
Yes, it's true
Step-by-step explanation:
A fraction is a part of a whole number for example 1/2. 1/2 is a half of one whole piece and if you multiply it into any whole number whether it's 2,4,6,8,10...... basically, if you multiply a fraction less than one with a non-zero whole number, it will always be less than the whole number it's being cut into smaller pieces. However, if the fraction is greater than 1, we would technically have an answer greater than the whole number product, just something to remember.
