Let one integer be x, the consecutive odd integer is x+2
reciprocals are 1/x and 1/(x+2)
1/x +1/(x+2)=24/143
make the denominators the same:
(x+2)/[x(x+2)] +x/[x(x+2)]=24/143
143(2x+2)=24(x)(x+2)
286x+286=24x²+48x
24x²-238x-286=0
use the quadratic formula: x=22 this doesn't work because 22 is not an odd number.
or x=-2.1666666666 (this is not an integer)
weird.

The probability that a 7th grader selected will play guitar.
From the attachment, we have:


7th graders that can play guitars are:

So, the probability is:


This is a formula chart to help(i would’ve given you the answer but you didn’t give the sharp)
1cm = 10mm
therefore 40cm = 400mm
