It is the sum of the integers from 1-41 minus the sum of the integers from 1-24 divided by 17
the sum of the integers from 1-41 is (42)(45)/2 = 861
the sum of the integers from 1-24 is (24)(25)/2 = 300
(861-300)/17 = 33
The answer is 33
If two pairs of corresponding angles in a pair of triangles are congruent, then the triangles are similar. We know this because if two angle pairs are the same, then the third pair must also be equal. When the three angle pairs are all equal, the three pairs of sides must also be in proportion.
3/4 times 3/2 (reciprocal of the second fraction) is 9/8 gallons per minute. 5/8 times 2/1 (reciprocal of the second fraction) is 10/8 gallons per minute
