Answer:

an odd number can be expressed as 2n+1 (2n would be even, add 1 = odd)

first number = 2n+1

second number = 2n+3 -> skip + 2 because it would make it even

third number = 2n+5

2n+1+2n+3+2n+5=153

6n+9=153

6n=144

n=24

24*2+1=48+1=49

24*2+3=48+3=51

24*2+5=48+5=53

the numbers are 49, 51, and 53.

A farmer had twice as many chickens as ducks on his farm. After he sold 166 chickens and ducks, he had half as many chickens as

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The farmer have at first 202 chickens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A farmer had twice as many chickens as ducks on his farm. After he sold 166 chickens and ducks, he had half as many chickens as ducks left.

Now, to find the chickens farmer have at first.

Let the chickens be $x.$

And, the ducks be $y.$

As, the farmer had twice as many chickens as ducks on his farm.

So, $x=2y$ ......(1)

As, given the farmer after selling 166 chickens and ducks, he had half as many chickens as ducks left.

According to question:

$x-166=(y-29)\times \frac{1}{2}$

$x-166=\frac{y-29}{2}$

Substituting the value of $x$ from equation (1) we get:

$2y-166=\frac{y-29}{2}$

By cross multiplying we get:

$4y-332=y-29$

Adding both sides 332 we get:

$4y=y+303$

Subtracting both sides by $y$ we get:

$3y=303$

Dividing both sides by 3 we get:

$y=101.$

Now, to get the number of chickens substituting the value of $y$ in equation (1):

$x=2y\\\\x=2\times 101\\\\x=202.$

Therefore, the farmer have at first 202 chickens.

In February, Alec had 1,586 visitors to his website. In March, he had 1,352 visitors to his website. What is the percentage decr

Deffense [45]

Answer:

The percentage decrease of the number of visitors to Alec's website from February to March is 14.8 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

Percent decrease is a measure of percent change, which is the extent to which something loses value.

Step 1:

Find out the difference (decrease) between the number of visitors in march and February

Decrease =number of visitors in Fe bury- Number of vsitors in march

Decrease= 1,586- 1,352

Decrease =234

Step 2:

Divide the decrease by the original number of visitors and multiply the answer by 100.

Percent decrease= $\frac{Decrease }{ Original Number }\times100$

Percent decrease= $\frac{236}{1586}\times100$

Percent decrease= $0.148\times100$

Percent decrease =14.88
