The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 316. Find the two odd integers.
1 answer:
1, 3, 5, 7, 9 ......
notice, there are consecutive odd integers, every other number
skip one, another, skip one, another and so on
so, from 1 to 3, is 1 + 2 =3
5 is 3 +2
7 is 5+2
and so on
let us pick an odd integer, hmmm say "a"
to find the next odd one, it'd be "a + 2" of course :)
we know their sum is 316
so
once you found "a", the next one is, well, "a + 2" :)

Answer:
Table shown below
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem let's use proportions.
If 2 pounds of grapes cost $6, half the amount will cost half the dollars, so the last row will have $3 in the price
For the second row, we know the price is $1, that is, one-sixth of the original given price. It should correspond to one-sixth of the amount of grapes or 2/6 pounds.
Simplifying the fraction, we get 1/3 or 0.33 pounds
