The sum of 3 consecutive odd numbers is 183. what is the second number in this sequence

We use the equation where x is the middle odd number. This can be simplified to simply , meaning we need to divide 183 by 3 to find x. This comes to 61.

The answer is 61.

Step-by-step explanation:

n, n + 2, n + 4 - three consecutive odd numbers

183 - sum

The equation:

n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) = 183      combine like terms

(n + n + n) + (2 + 4) = 183

3n + 6 = 183            subtract 6 from both sides

3n = 177           divide both sides by 3

n = 59

The second number: n + 2 = 59 + 2 = 61

answer:

step-by-step explanation:

here, the total dishes = 10

dishes having meat = 3 ( chicken, meatloaf and hamburger )

thus, the probability of having meat on the chosen dishes = number of dishes having meat / total dishes

=

therefore, the probability of not having meat = 1- the probability of having meat on the chosen dishes

=

=

=

⇒ option b is correct.
