Answer:
-75
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us consider the first odd number to be 'x'.
Thus:
- 1st odd number: x
- 2nd odd number: x+2
- 3rd odd number: x+3
According to the question, the sum of these three consecutive ODD numbers should be equal to -219
So,
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = -219
3x + 6 = -219
3x = -225
x = -75

Answer:
a) The unit rate for calories per cup is 100 calories per cup
b) 200 calories in 2 cups of cereal.
Step-by-step explanation:
A box of cereal states that there are 75 calories in a three fourths 3/4-cup serving.
a) What is the unit rate for calories per cup?
This is calculated as:
3/4 cup = 75 calories
1 cup = x
Cross Multiply
3/4x = 75 calories × 1
x = 75 calories /3/4 cup
x = 75 ÷ 3/4
x = 75 × 4/3
x = 100 calories per cup
The unit rate for calories per cup is 100 calories per cup
b) How many calories are there in 2 cups of the cereal?
From the above question
3/4 cup = 75 calories
2 cups = x
Cross Multiply
3/4x = 75× 2
x = 150 ÷ 3/4
x = 150 × 4/3
x = 200 calories
There are 200 calories in 2 cups of cereal.
Answer: -29
Subtract 18 FROM -11.
That means that 18 would go after -11.
-11 - 18 = -29
