3 consecutive numbers....x, x + 1 and x + 2

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 72
3x + 3 = 72
3x = 72 - 3
3x = 69
x = 69/3
x = 23

x + 1 = 23 + 1 = 24
x + 2 = 23 + 2 = 25

so ur numbers are 23,24,25 with 25 being the largest

6,500 acres of a 41,000 acre forest burned in a fire. what percentage of forest was damaged?

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

15.85%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Acres damaged (burned) = 6,500 acres

Acres in total forest = 41,000 acres

Hence the amount of damaged forest as a fraction of the total forest,

= $\frac{6500}{41000}$ = $\frac{13}{82}$

expressed as percentage = $\frac{13}{82}$ x 100% = 15.85%
