We can start this problem by finding out what the lowest consecutive number's value is (x). Since consecutive numbers are numbers that are 1 apart from each other, the sum of 9 consecutive numbers would look like
x + (x+1) + (x+2) + (x+3) + (x+4) + (x+5) + (x+6) + (x+7) + (x+8)
Since we know that they equal 153,
x + (x+1) + (x+2) + (x+3) + (x+4) + (x+5) + (x+6) + (x+7) + (x+8) = 153
Now we combine like terms
9x + 36 = 153
Simplify
9x = 117
x = 13
Now, we need to find what the 5th consecutive number is equal to. The fifth consecutive number is (x+4), so 13 + 4 is 17, meaning that the 5th of 9 consecutive numbers that add up to 153 is 17.
Given :
Sunflower produce approximately 50 seeds per flower.
If one ounce of sunflower seeds contain an average of 72 seeds.
To Find :
How many flowers are needed to produce 2 pounds of seeds.
Solution :
1 pound = 16 ounces .
So , 2 pound = 32 ounces .
Number of seeds in 2 pounds of seeds, n = 32×72 = 2304 .
Number of flowers are :

So , approximate number of flower required are 46.
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
8 movies and 6 video games
<em></em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given




Required
Determine the items Lonnie can afford
To solve this question, we make use of trial by error method by taking the options one at a time:
Option 1: 6 movies and 4 video games
<em>This option can not be considered because the number of items is not up to the minimum Lonnte must purchase.</em>
<em />
Option 2: 14 movies and 7 video games



<em>This option can not be considered because the cost of purchase is greater than Lonnte's worth of Gift card.</em>
<em />
Option 3: 2 movies and 10 video games
<em>This option can not be considered because the number of items is not up to the minimum Lonnte must purchase.</em>
<em />
Option 4: 8 movies and 6 video games



Hence, the correct option is <em>8 movies and 6 video games
</em>
Answer:
(a) 
(b) Yaw, Musa and Kofi
Step-by-step explanation:
Given



Solving (a): The cost of the business
First, we solve for the fraction of Musa







So, we have:

Make Total the subject



Solving (b): Partners in ascending order
First, represent the fractions as decimals



From the conversion above, the least is 0.1333 (Yaw), then 0.3111 (Musa), then 0.5556 (Kofi).
<em>So, the order is: Yaw, Musa and Kofi</em>
