Explanation:
If your actual answer is very far from your estimate, you probably made a mistake somewhere.

<em>Additional comment</em>
50 years ago, when a slide rule was the only available calculation tool, making an estimate of the result was a required part of doing the calculation. Not only were the first one or two significant digits needed, but also the power of 10 that multiplied them. Use of a slide rule required the order of magnitude be computed separately (by hand) from the significant digits of the result.

You may also find it useful to estimate the error in your estimate. That is, you may want to know the approximate answer to 2 (or more) significant digits in order to gain confidence that your calculation is correct.
So,
x + y = 117
y = x + 1
x + x + 1 = 117
Collect Like Terms
2x + 1 = 117
Subtract 1 from both sides
2x = 116
Divide both sides by 2
x = 58
y = x + 1
y = 58 + 1
y = 59
The 2 consecutive integers are 58 and 59.
A. Let s be the smallest integer
B. We must add 2 to get the next greater integer
C. Second integer is s+2
D. s+(s+2)=118
2•s+2=118
2s+2-2=118-2
2s=116
2s/2=116/2
s=58
If the smallest even integer is 58 the consecutive integer is 58+2=60
Verify
58+60=118 ✔️
Answer:
5 milk shakes
Step-by-step explanation:
From the above question, we know that for the recipe
1/3 cup of milk = 1 milk shake
15/8 cup of milk = y milk shakes
We cross Multiply
15/8 cup × 1 = 1/3cup × y
y = 15/8 cup × 1 /1/3cup
= 15/8 ÷ 1/3
= 15/8 × 3
= 45/8
= 5.625 of 5 5/8 cups of milk
Therefore, the maximum number of
milkshakes the server can make following the recipe porpotians is 5 milk shakes.
For this question you can say:
154/11 = 252/?
so ? is the hours she would work:
252*11/154 = 18 hours :)))
i hope this is helpful
have a nice day
