Let's say the first number is "a"
the next consecutive can just be "a+1" and the next, you guessed it, "a+2"
the two smaller ones are a and a+1, the larger one is a+2
now, the product of "a" and "a+1" equals 5 times "a+2" but less by 5
thus a(a + 1) = 5(a + 2) - 5 <----- solve for "a"

Stan's, Mark's and Wayne's ages are 35 , 36 and 37 years respectively.
<em><u>Explanation</u></em>
Stan's, Mark's and Wayne's ages are <u>consecutive whole numbers</u> and Stan is the youngest and Wayne is the oldest.
So, lets assume that Stan's, Mark's and Wayne's ages are
and 
Given that, the sum of their ages is 108. So, the equation will be.....

So, Stan's age is 35 years , Mark's age is (35+1)= 36 years and Wayne's age is (35+2)= 37 years.
Answer:
2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
From the diagram, figure B was enlarged to obtain figure A.
The two figures are therefore similar.
The corresponding sides are in the same proportion. That constant value of the proportion is called scale factor.
It is given by:

Figure B is the image of A

Therefore the scale factor is 2.5
