Question

Q1 determine the smaller of two integers whose sum equals -47

A)23 B) -23 C)24 D)-24

Q2 determine the larger of two consecutive integers whose sum add to 85
A)40 B)41 C)42 D)43

Q3)the sum of 3 consecutive integers is 309 determine the middle integer
A)105 B)102 C)103 D)104

Answer 1

Question 1:

We have to identify the two smaller integers whose sum is equal to -47.

So, among these numbers '-23' and '-24' are the smaller numbers whose sum is as,

`-23+(-24) = -23-24= -47`.

Therefore, -23 and -24 are the required numbers.

Question 2:

We have to determine the larger consecutive integers whose sum is 85.

The larger consecutive numbers are 42 and 43 whose sum is as,

`42+43=85`.

Therefore, 42 and 43 are the required numbers.

Question 3:

We have to identify the three consecutive integers whose sum is 309.

The three consecutive integers are 102, 103 and 104 whose sum is as:

`102+103+104 = 309`.

The middle integer among 102, 103 and 104 is '103'.
