Answer:

39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smallest number be n,

then the three numbers are n, n+1 and n+2

Therefore, n+(n+1)+(n+2)=120

Collecting like terms,

n+n+n=120-1-2

3n=117

n=117/3

n=39

Therefore the numbers are 39,40 and 41.

And the smallest number is 39.

Answer:

There were 49 questions on this Geometry test.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can start by setting up a proportion:

x = total number of questions on Geometry test

\frac{37}{x} = \frac{75.51}{100}

Now, to solve for x, cross multiply:

75.51x = 3700

Finally, isolate x and solve:

x = 49.0001324328

This is very close to 49.

Find three consecutive even integers such that the sum of the least integer and the middle integer is 2424 more than the greates
SIZIF [17.4K]
Let the smallest integer be x
The second integer = x + 2
The third integer = x + 4

x + x + 2 = x + 4 + 24
2x + 2 = x + 28
2x - x = 28 - 2
x = 26

So the numbers are 26, 28, 30

Find the distance that the earth travels in eight days in its path around the sun. assume that a year has 365 days and that the
lora16 [44]
The speed of earth will be found as follows:
speed=distance/time
distance=93 million
time=365
speed=(93)/365=254, 794.5205 mi/day
thus distance moved for 8 days will be:
distance=speed*time
=(254794.5205)×8
=2,038,356.164 miles
