Let the integers be x-2, x, x+2.
Given,
x -2 + x + x + 2 = 69
3x = 69
x = 23
Hence, the integers are 21, 23 and 25.
Answer:
The surface area is A≈96ft²
It says to estimate first 1,537 turns to 2,000 because the 5 is 5 or more so the 1 becomes 2 and everything else is zeros. Now multiply 2000x 242=484,000 is the Estimation. Now find the correct product for 1,537x242=371,954
The length of the ramp is unknown.
If 6 ramps were cut from a board that is 12 1/2 feet long, the ramps would be about 2 feet long each which seems like a reasonable answer. The questions regarding how many boards are cut would need the length of the ramps. Lets say that the length is x. You can get 12 1/2 divided by x boards. In order to find out how much is left over, take the number of boards made, multiply it by how long they are. This product is then subracted from 12 1/2.
