Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Consecutive integers just means like one after another.
This means that:
First number = x
Second number = x + 1
Third number = x + 2
They've told us that the sum of 3 consecutive integers is 78.
First number + second number + third number = 78
Sub the equations we wrote into the formula above and we get:
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 78
Gather the like terms.
3x + 3 = 78
Subtract 3 from both sides.
3x = 78-3 = 75
Divide both sides by 3 to solve for x.
x = 75/3 = 25
If you look at the very beginning we said that the first number = x.
Therefore it is 25.
Second number = x + 1 = 26
Third number = x + 2 = 27
This problem is simply asking us to add the weights which are presented as fractions. You can easily get the answer if you input them directly in a calculator. But I think the challenge here is to manually add fractions.
Let's add the two 1/4 lb weights because it is easier for they have a common denominator. Just simply add the numerators.
1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4
Then, add with this the fraction part of 2 1/5.
2/4 + 1/5 = ?
The least common denominator is 4*5 = 20. Then divide 20 with each denominator and multiply to their respective numerator.
2/4 + 1/5 = [(20/4 * 2) + (20/5 *1)]/20 = 14/20
14/20 is simplified to 7/10. Then add the whole number 2. <em>Therefore, the sum of all weights is 2 7/10 pounds.</em>

Answer:
b. 4.1 shirts
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data:
number of terms = 12
Terms given are 3, 4, 8, 5, 2, 5, 0, 5, 3, 4, 3, 7
Mean = (sum of terms)/ (number of terms)
Mean = (3 +4+ 8+ 5+2+5+0+ 5+ 3+ 4+3+ 7)/12
Mean = 49/12
Mean = 4.083
Mean = 4.1 (<em>to the nearest tenth)</em>
