1 and 1/3----------Hope I helped....
Consecutive numbers can be written as such:
n + (n + 1) = 73
Open the parentheses and simplify:
2n + 1 = 73
Subtract 1 from both sides:
2n = 72
Divide both sides by 2:
n = 36
The numbers are 36 and 37
2L +2W=160
100+ 2W=160
subtract 100 from each side
2W=60
divide by two each side
W=30
use the formula L×W=Area or 50×30 which equals 150 the are of the pasture is 150 feet²
First we need to convert our fractions into decimals, it's just a lot easier to work with.
2 1/2 is equal to 2.5
2 1/4 is equal to 2.25
Then we plug our numbers into the formula used to find the volume of a rectangle:
V=L*W*H
Volume equals Length times Width times Height.
V=2.5*4*2.25
V=22.5
22.5 is already in decimal form, or if you'd rather have a mixed number, your answer is 22
