Answer:

378 and 380

Step-by-step explanation:

The two even consecutive numbers that add up to 758 are going to be very close to half of 758. This is because two half of 758 are going to be the most similar addends of 758. This is important because the answers will be consecutive and therefore, must also be very similar. To solve, first, divide 758 by 2. This is 379, which is not an even number. So, to find the needed addends subtract and add 1 to 379. Both of these will be even and consecutive. These two numbers are 378 and 380. Then, to check you, can add them and see that they do sum 758.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number = x

Let the second number = x + 2

x + x + 2 = 758                      Collect like terms

2x + 2 = 758                         Subtract 2

2x = 758 - 2                          Combine

2x = 756                                Divide by 2

2x/2 = 756/2

x = 378

The first number is 378

The second number 380

If your teacher is really fussy, you can do it this way.

Let the first number = 2x

Let the second number = 2x + 2

The reason for this is to guarantee that both numbers were even to start with.

2x + 2x+2 = 758                    Combine like terms

4x + 2 = 758                          Subtract 2

4x = 756                                Divide by 4

x = 756/4

x = 189

Therefore 2x = 378

2x + 2 = 380                 Just as before.

Tia owns a fruit shop and is selling a fresh lot of apples and oranges. She wants the ratio of apples to oranges sold to be 4 to
____ [38]

Answer: 32 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of apples to oranges sold is given as 4 to 2. Since Tia wants to sell a total of 48 apples and oranges, the number of apples that she should sell would be:

= 4/(4+2) × 48

= 4/6 × 48

= 32

Therefore, he should sell 32 apples.

Captain Emily has a ship, the H.M.S Crimson Lynx. The ship is five furlongs from the dread pirate Umaima and her merciless band
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The probability that the pirate misses the captain's ship but the captain hits = 0.514

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event that the captain hits the pirate ship

The probability of the captain hitting the pirate ship, P(A) = 3/5

Let B be the event that the pirate hits the captain's ship

The probability of the pirate hitting the captain's ship P(B) = 1/7

The probability of the pirate missing the captain's ship, P'(B) = 1 - P(B)

P'(B) = 1 - 1/7 = 6/7

The probability that the pirate misses the captain's ship but the captain hits = P(A) * P(B) = 3/5 * 6/7

= 0.514

The ratio of money in Terry's bank account to Faye's bank account was 3:7. Terry then put £220 in his account and Faye withdrew
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Terry initially had £390

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the original amount is 3:7

Let the original amount Terry has be t and the original amount Faye has be f

3/7 = t/f

or simply 3f = 7t ••••••(i)

Terry putting 220 means he now has

t + 220

Faye withdrew 300

He now has f-300

These values are equal

t + 220 = f-300

f = t+220+300

f = t + 520 ••••••(ii)

Put ii into i

3(t + 520) = 7t

3t + 1560 = 7t

7t-3t = 1560

4t = 1560

t = 1560/4

t = 390
