Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the middle number be x.

(x - 1)(x)(x + 1) = 21,924

You can solve that equation, or you can use logic.

The 3 numbers are going to be close to the cubic root of 21,924.

cubic root of 21,924 = 27.988 or approx 28.

Try 27, 28, 29

27 * 28 * 29 = 21,924

Answer: 27

Answer:

107.2 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given

the diameter of ball 8 inches

radius= 8/2 = 4 in

The volume of the ball

$v=4/3 \pi r^3$

$v= 4/3*3.142*4^3\\\\v= 4/3*3.142*64\\\\v= 804.35/3\\\\v=268.12 in^3$

Step two:

we know that

rate= quantity/time

rate= 2.4 in per second

quantity= 268.12

time=?

time= quantity/rate

time= 268.12/2.5

time= 107.2 seconds
