Numbers are 416, 417 and 418
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Step 1:
Let the numbers be x, x + 1 and x + 2. Given that their sum is 1251.
⇒ x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 1251
⇒ 3x + 3 = 1251
⇒ 3x = 1248
⇒ x = 416
Step 2:
Find the other numbers.
⇒ x + 1 = 417 and x + 2 = 418
Step-by-step explanation:
sorry for the rough handwriting but that's that
The cost of one book = $ 6 7
Number of books = 1 0 2
The cost of 102 books = $ 67 × 102
= $ 6834
Therefore, cost of 102 books = $ 6834
Let wind speed = x mph
when she rode 2 miles against the wind we have:-
speed = distance / time so
20 - x = 2 / t -------(1) where t is the time she took.
when riding with the wind we have
20 + x = 3 / t--------(2) adding equations (1) and (2):-
40 = 2/t + 3/t
40 = 5/t
t = 5/40 = 1/8 hr
x = 20 - 2 / 1/8 = 20 - 16 = 4
Wind speed was 4 mph Answer
