The sum of three consecutive numbers is 72. What is the smallest of these numbers? Set up an equation to solve.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the three consecutive numbers be x,x+1,x+2 . The numbers are: 23,24,and25 and the smallest one is 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: (x-1) + (x) + (x+1) = 72; smallest number is 23.

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers are consecutive, meaning they sit next to each other on a number line. For example 4, 5, 6.

Because they are three consecutive numbers, their average will be the value of the middle one. For example the average of 4, 5, 6 is 5.

Knowing this, we can divide 72 by three to get the value of the middle number.

72/3 = 24, so the middle number is 24.

The numbers that fall either side of 24 on the number line are 23 and 25, so the three consecutive numbers are 23, 24, 25.

You can also set up and solve the equation: (x-1) + (x) + (x+1) = 72 because the numbers are consecutive.

To solve, combine like terms. The (-1) and (+1) cancel out and the equation becomes 3x = 72.

72/3 = 24, so x = 24, and the smallest term, (x-1) = 23.

Which of the following trigonometric ratios are correct?

Answers

Hi there! In this problem, you should have the knowledge of three basic Trigonometric Ratio.

sinA = opposite/hypotenusecosA = adjacent/hypotenusetanA = opposite/adjacent

Now that we know three basic ratio. Let's check each choices!

sin50° = d/c

This choice is wrong because we focus on the 50° angle. When we focus on 50°, sin50° should be d/x and not d/c.

sin50° = c/x

This choice is also wrong because in ratio, it's cos50° that adjacent/hypotenuse.

tan50° = d/c

This choice is correct! As ratio states, tanA = opposite/adjacent.

tan50° = x/c

This choice is wrong. x/c is a reciprocal of cosine which is 1/cos. We call the reciprocal of cosine as secant or sec in short.

cos50° = x/d

This choice is wrong as x/d is a reciprocal of sine which is 1/sin. We call the reciprocal of sine as cosecant or cosec/csc in short.

cos50° = c/x

This choice is right by the ratio. Nothing really much to explain since we follow by ratio that is defined.

Answer

tan50° = d/ccos50° = c/x

Questions can be asked through comment.

Furthermore, tan also has its reciprocal form itself which is called cotangent also known as cot in short.

Hope this helps, and Happy Learning! :)

Answers

Answer:

1/4 L

Step-by-step explanation:

2 1/2=10/4  10/4*3/4=30/16= 1 7/8

1 7/8=15/8        10/4*2=20/8          20/8-15/8=5/8

5/8-3/8=2/8 or 1/4 L

Answer: 1/4 L

In bottle 1/4 of chlorine solution is left in bottle.

What is an expression?

Expression in math is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Given that;

Felicia pours 3/4 of a 2 1/2-liter bottle of chlorine solution into a swimming pool.

And, then she measures out 3/8 liters of the remaining solution to use to clean the pool filter.

Now,

Chlorine solution in bottle = 2 1/2 × ( 1 - 3/4 ) - 3/8

                                        = 5 / 2 × 1/4 - 3/8

                                        = 5 / 8 - 2 / 8

                                        = 1 / 4

Thus, In bottle 1/4 of chlorine solution is left in bottle.

Laura lleno su pecera hasta la mitad 40 cm de altura 60 cm de ancho 20 cm dekargo cuanto espacio ocupa la pecera

Answers

Answer:

La pecera ocupa 48.000 centímetros cúbicos de espacio.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dado que Laura lleno su pecera hasta la mitad, y la misma mide 40 cm de altura, 60 cm de ancho y 20 cm de largo, para determinar cuánto espacio ocupa la pecera se debe realizar el siguiente cálculo, sabiendo que el volumen de un prisma rectangular surge de multiplicar su altura por su longitud y su anchura:

40 x 60 x 20 = X

2400 x 20 = X

48000 = X

Por lo tanto, la pecera ocupa 48.000 centímetros cúbicos de espacio.

laura has a 3-digit combination lock on her briefcase and has forgtten the combination. If she knows that the first digit is a 3, and the second digit is a prime, how many numbers must Laura try before the lock is sure to open?

Answers

Answer:

Laura needs to try 36 more times before the lock is sure to open.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, with a three digit lock, there are 9 possible numbers for each digit:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.

Since the first one is 3, lets move onto the second digit, which is prime.

Of the numbers between 1-9,

2, 3, 5, and 7 are prime.

With the last digit, it can be any number 1-9.

With all of this, there are 4 combos left for the second digit then 9 combos for the third digit. Therefore, there would be 36 possible combinations as 4 * 9 =36.
