For every ounce of juice mix, there are 3 ounces of water.
Hopefully, this answers your question.
Let x be the 1st odd number, and x+2 the second odd consecutive number:
(x)(x + 2) = 6[((x) + (x+2)] -1
x² + 2x = 6(2x + 2) - 1
x² + 2x = 12x +12 - 1
And x² - 10x - 11=0
Solve this quadratic expression:
x' = [+10 +√(10²- 4.(1)(-11)]/2 and x" = [+10 -√(10²- 4.(1)(-11)]/2
x' = [10 + √144]/2 and x" = [10 - √64]/2
x' = (10+12)/2 and x" = (10-12)/2
x = 11 and x = -1
We have 2 solutions that satisfy the problem:
1st for x = 11, the numbers at 11 and 13
2nd for x = - 1 , the numbers are -1 and +1
If you plug each one in the original equation :(x)(x + 2) = 6[((x) + (x+2)] -1
you will find that both generates an equlity
This is a trick question. They eat 1/3 of the gallons given. Multiply
1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9 gallons or 0.111 gallons
11
(9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90 and 99)
Those numbers divisible by 9 are the multiple of 9; thus need to know how many multiples of 9 there are between 1 and 100:
100 ÷ 9 = 11 r 1 ÷ last multiple of 9 is 11 × 9 (= 99)
→ There are 11 - 1 + 1 = 11 numbers between 1 and 100 which are divisible by 9.
(They are 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90, 99.)
