Answer:
31.5 or 63/2
Step-by-step explanation:
to do this, first you need to transform the <u>mixed number</u> <em>(3 1/2)</em> into an <u>improper fraction</u>, to get 7/2.
then you just multiply 9 by 7/2
9/1 (7/2)
63/2 = 31.5
<em>both of the answers in bold are correct</em>
We can solve this by finding one of the numbers first
Let the smaller number be y.
Since these 2 numbers are consecutive odd numbers, the larger number should be 2 more than the smaller one (y+2).
Therefore,
y + (y+2) = 284
2y +2 = 284
shift +2 to the other side and turn it into -2
2y = 284 - 2
2y = 282
shift x2 to the other side and turn it into /2
y = 282/2
y = 141
Now we got the smaller number, which is 141, we can also find the larger number by adding 2 to it. 141+2 = 143,
Therefore, your answer is 141 and 143
