Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
The first marker is labeled 208708; the second (consecutive) one 208709
Discussion:
Call the first mile marker "m". Then
m + (m+1) = 417417 => combine like terms
2m + 1 = 417417 => subtract 1 from both sides
2m = 417416 => divide both sides by 2
m = 417416/2 = 208708
Note: m and (m+1) are consecutive as they immediately follow each other in the set of integers.
Thank you,
MrB
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
PEMDAS
anything done in the parentheses comes first
so you have to add first then multiply
this is not the distributive property unless the two numbers in parentheses are not like terms
Answer:
The answer would be 22/12 or 1 and 11/12
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2+2/3+3/4
First get common denominators so you have a denominator of 12 so 6/12+8/12+9/12
Add those together and you get 23/12 but you have to subtract one because that's what the problem says so you get 22/12
