If x is the first of the integers then the statement is:
(x) , (x+2) , (x+4) , (x+6)
This means that the smallest is x and the largest is x + 6
so:
3(x) + 2(x+6) = 293
3x + 2x + 12 = 293
5x = 281
x = 56.2
This gives us a none integer (decimal)
What now?
Wait remember how x started as the lowest? what if x was the highest instead?
x, x-2, x-4, x-6
so:
3(x-6) + 2(x) = 293
5x = 315
x = 62.2
This is as close as have gotten to the answer
Cant seem to get an integer.
Maybe error in the question or some bad math on my part.
The fraction is 36/42.
36 + 42 = 78
36/42 = 6/7
13% 0.25 1/3 0.35 least to greatest
women / total students = 714 / 1295 = 0.551351351 ≈ 55.14%
<span>ANSWER: About 55.14% of the students are women. </span>
