Answer:
A. -14 B.-57 C.-14 D.-25
(I USED MY BRAIN SO IT MIGHT BE WRONG)
Let x,y,z be those numbers.
x+y+z = 12
Since x,y,z are consecutive: y=x+1, and z = x+2
Let's replace y and z by their new values:
x+x+1+x+2=12
3x+3=12
You subtract 3 from each side to get variables on a side, and numbers on the other:
3x=9
You divide both sides by 3:
x=3
y=x+1 = 3+1 = 4
z=x+2 = 3+2 = 5
So the numbers are 3; 4 and 5.
You can re-check your answers (very important):
3+4+5 = 12
3;4;5 are consecutive numbers.
The answer has been approved.
Hope this Helps! :)
Mukat gets 40, Usha gets 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Mukat = 5 × Usha
After Mukat gives Usha 16 books ,Usha gets (16 + initial number of books) and Mukat gets (5 × Usha - 16)
Then Mukat = final number of books for Usha
5 × Usha - 16 = Usha + 16
(5 × Usha ) - Usha = 16+16
4 × Usha = 32
Usha = 8 i.e her number of books.
Mukat = 5×8=40.
I HOPE IT'S OK
11 as many fiction books as non fiction.
Fiction books F, Non Fiction NF
F: NF = 11 : 1
Total ratio 11+ 1 = 12.
Fraction of Fiction books F, = 11/12
Total books = 312.
Fiction books = 11/12 * 312 = 286
Fiction books = 286
