Answer:

The numbers are 65, 67, and 69

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We need to find 3 consecutive odd integers.

Consecutive numbers are numbers that follow each other (ex. 1, 2, 3, 4)

We're given that 5 times the first number + 4 times the second + 3 times the third = 800

Let's make the first number x

Since the second number is consecutive to the first and odd, it will be x+2 (Why? Well, let's say x is 5. In that case, x+1=6, which is even. However, x+2=7)

Therefore, the third number is x+4 (once again, if x is 5, x+3=8, but x+4=9)

5 times the first number is 5x

4 times the second is 4(x+2)

3 times the third is 3(x+4)

And of course, that equals 800

As an equation, it'll be:

5x+4(x+2)+3(x+4)=800

open the parenthesis

5x+4x+8+3x+12=800

combine like terms

12x+20=800

Subtract 20 from both sides

12x=780

Divide by 12 on both sides

x=65

The first number is x, so the first number is 65

The second number is x+2, or 65+2=67

The third number is x+4, or 65+4=69

Hope this helps!

What is the mean of the numbers??

otez555 [7]

Substitute it in with the pythagorean theorem. you’ll end up getting 6^2 + 12^2 + 13^2. this equation isn't true though, because 6^2 + 12^2 = 36 + 144 = 180 and 13^2 = 169.

Answer numbers 1-4 with work please

Answer:

$\large\boxed{Q1.\ 6\dfrac{1}{4}\ cups}\\\boxed{Q2.\ 3\dfrac{1}{3}\ pounds}\\\boxed{Q3.\ 72:64=9:8}\\\boxed{Q4.\ 32:64=12:24}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In Q1 and Q2 we must make the proportion.

$Q1.\\s-\text{number of cups of sugar}\\\\\dfrac{2\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{2}{5}}=\dfrac{s}{1}\to s=2\dfrac{1}{2}:\dfrac{2}{5}=\dfrac{2\cdot2+1}{2}\cdot\dfrac{5}{2}=\dfrac{5}{2}\cdot\dfrac{5}{2}=\dfrac{25}{4}=6\dfrac{1}{4}$

$Q2.\\p-\text{number of pounds of mashed potatoes}\\\\\dfrac{2\frac{4}{6}}{\frac{4}{5}}=\dfrac{p}{1}\to p=2\dfrac{4}{6}:\dfrac{4}{5}=\dfrac{2\cdot6+4}{6}\cdot\dfrac{5}{4}=\dfrac{16\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^4}{6}\cdot\dfrac{5}{4\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}=\dfrac{20}{6}=\dfrac{20:2}{6:2}=\dfrac{10}{3}=3\dfrac{1}{3}$

$Q3.\\\\72:64=\dfrac{72}{64}=\dfrac{72:8}{64:8}=\dfrac{9}{8}=9:8\\\\\text{Other method}\\\\72:64=9:x\to\dfrac{72}{64}=\dfrac{9}{x}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\72x=(64)(9)\qquad\text{divide both sides by 72}\\\\x=\dfrac{576}{72}\\\\x=8$

$Q4.\\\\32:x=12:24\\\\\dfrac{32}{x}=\dfrac{12}{24}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\12x=(32)(24)\qquad\text{divide both sides by 12}\\\\x=\dfrac{768}{12}\\\\x=64$
