Three consecutive natural numbers have a sum of 36. What is the greatest number?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: It's 12 because if you divide 36 by 3 (consecutive) it equals 12

Answer 2

Answer: If you have three of them, they go in order: 2, 3, 4 and so on.

If the lowest is X then the next two are x + 1 and x + 2.

Though the question asks you to look for the highest, so I'll call that x, so the other two become "x - 1" and x - 2

So if we add them up to get 36, we get:

x + (x - 1) + (x - 2) = 36

Solving for x:

3x - 3 = 36
3x = 39
x = 13

Students get a 15% discount off the original prices at the Everything Fluorescent store during its back to school sale. Find the amount of discount on fluorescent notebooks originally priced at $7.99.

Answers

the discount is $1.19 unless you have to round up than it is $1.20. in order to solve this problem you would set up a proportion. So your proportion would be x over 7.99 = 15 over 100. Than you would cross multiply. 7.99*15=119.85. and 100*x=100x. than u divided both sides by a 100. than x= 1.19. which 1.19 is the discount.

Answers

9) A=1/2 b x h
b=2h
a=64
64=1/2 x 3h
we divide both sides by 2 to get rid of the fraction so it will be:
128=3h
h=42.6
b=2 x 42.6
b=85.3

Devon studied the composite figure.(Picture 1)
He believed the surface area, in square units, could be found by simplifying the expression
(Picture 2)
What error did Devon make?

A. He used 26 instead of 24 as the slant height of one set of lateral faces.
B. He omitted the rectangle where the upper and lower solids join together.
C. He included the 34 by 20 base of the figure.
D. He believed the upper part of the figure was a pyramid instead of a prism.

Answers

If we look at his calculations
2((9)(20) is the front an back rectangle
2((9)(34)) is the side rectangles
(34)(20) is the bottom
2(1/2(20(24)) is te front and top triangles
and the last one assumes that they are triangles which is incorrect
