Answer: 103, 104, 105, and 106
Step-by-step explanation: This problem states that the sum of 4 consecutive integers is 418 and it asks us to find the integers.
First represent your 4 consecutive integers as follows.
X ⇒ first integer
X + 1 ⇒ second integer
X + 2 ⇒ third integer
X + 3 ⇒ fourth integer
Since their sum is 418, our equation reads
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 418.
Simplifying on the left side we get 4x + 6 = 418.
Now we can subtract 6 from both sides of the equation and we have
4x = 412.
Now just divide both sides by 4 and we find that <em>x = 103</em>.
Finally, make sure you list all your answers.
If <em>x</em> is 103, then <em>x </em>+ 1 is 104, <em>x</em> + 2 is 105, and <em>x</em> + 3 is 106
Therefore, our 3 consecutive integers are 103, 104, 105, and 106.
7x+(x+20)=180
Just simplify. Hope this helped:)
Answer : $18.75
Bethany is paid time-and-a-half for each hour she works above her normal 40 hours each week. Last week, Bethany worked 44 hours and her gross pay was $575.
Total hours worked = 44 hours
Normal 40 hours + 4 hours extra
Let x be the amount earned for 1 hour for regular 40 hours
1.5x be the amount earned for extra hours
40 (amount earned for normal hours ) + 4(amount for extra hours ) = gross pay
40x + 4(1.5x) = 575
40x + 6x = 575
46 x = 575
Now divide both sides by 46
x = 12.5
1.5x is the amount earned for extra hours
1.5 * 12.5 = 18.75
Bethany earn for each hour of overtime she worked is $18.75
3 ft is equal to 36 inches, so they are the same length
0.96 or 19/20
0.96 as fraction = 96/100 = 19.2 / 20 5 into 96 is 19.2 and 5 into 100 is 20
So 0.96 is the same as 19.2/20
Since 19.2 / 20 and 19 / 20 have the same denominator, therefore the 19.2 / 20 is bigger than 19 / 20.
So the 0.96 is bigger than the 19 / 20.
