Answer: Meaghan is right.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a number like:

123.45

the tens place would be the "2" (second number at the left of the decimal point)

The ones place would be the "3" (first number at the left of the decimal point)

Let's suppose that Lily is correct.

Then the quotient of:

43.61/7

Will be a number with two digits in the left of the decimal point.

The smallest number that meets this condition, is the number 10.

Then let's see:

7*10 = 70

then:

70/7 = 10

and:

43.61 < 70

(70 is larger than 43.61)

then:

43.61/7 < 70/7 = 10

Then:

(43.61/7) < 10

This means that our quotient is smaller than 10, then the first digit of the quotient can not be on the tens place.

Then Meaghan is the correct one.

We also could perform the quotient to find:

43.61/7 = 6.23

So yes, Meaghan is correct.

Find three positive consecutive integers such that the product of the smallest and the largest is 17 more than three times the m
trapecia [35]
There are two answers to this question
the first possible answer is 5, 6, and 7 and the second possible answer is -4, -3, and -2


Step-by-step explanation:

let the three numbers be (x-1), x, and (x+1)
the product of the smallest and largest number is 17 more than 3 times the middle number, or
(x-1)(x+1) = 3x+17, or
x^2-1 = 3+17, or
x^2-3x-18 = 0
(x-6)(x+3) = 0
So x = 6 or -3
Then just subtract one and add one to get the other integers. the three numbers are 5, 6, and 7 or -4, -3, and -2
