Since the numbers are consecutive, they must be near each other in size, and therefore near one-third of 168. And since the lower number is -2 off the middle, and the upper number is +2 from the middle, the middle number must be exactly one-third of 168—otherwise the sum of the three could never be 168. Labelling the three consecutive numbers as x, y, and z:
x + y + z = 168
(y-2) + y + (y+2) = 168.
3y = 168
y = 56
therefore the smallest number (x) = 54.

Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
List out the factors of each
36: 1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,36
60: 1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60
the highest number they both have in common is 12
Answer:P(BBR) = 1/2 × 25/51 × 26/50 = 13/102 if cards are not replaced.
P(RBB) = 1/2 × 26/51 × 25/50 (simplified 1/2) = 13/102
P(BRB) = 1/2 × 26/51 ×25/50 (simplified 1/2) = 13/102
Step-by-step explanation: P(B) at first step is 26 cards out of a possible 52 therefore 26/52 (or simplified 1/2). We then have 25 black cards left out of a possible 51 therefore 25/51. The final card then has to be red to meet the criteria, we have 26 red cards still out of a possible 50 therefore 26/50.
This would be an example of binomial probability as at each step there are only 2 options R or B.
