This problem, as written, requires a bit of guessing regarding your intentions. My interpretation is that you want to do this division:
2
----------
1 6/7
If that's correct, here's what to do: rewrite 1 6/7 as 13/7 (an improper fraction).
Then divide:
2
-------- This is equivalent to the multiplication (2/1)(7/13) = 14/13 (answer)
13/7
You just add the lengths of RS and ST together. In your case RT= 24
Answer:
<h3>
44</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
z - some integer
2z - first given even integer (the smaller one)
2z+2 - even integer consecutive to 2z (the larger one)
2(2z) - twice the smaller number
2(2z) - 40 - the number 40 less than twice the smaller number
2(2z) - 40 = 2z + 2
4z - 40 = 2z + 2
2z = 42
2z+2 = 42+2 = 44
check:
2(2z)-40 = 2(42)-40 = 84-40 = 44
24 divided by 21 is 1.14285714286. In fraction form it is 8/7, or 1 1/7.
