Question
The sum of 3 consecutive natural numbers is 75. Find the numbers.
Hint:
let the three consecutive natural numbers be n , n+1 and n+2
Given, the sum of these three consecutive natural numbers is 75.
(i.e n+n+1+n+2 = 75)
The correct answer is: 24,25 and 26
Ans :- 24,25 and 26
Explanation :-
let the three consecutive natural numbers be n , n+1 and n+2
Given, the sum of these three consecutive natural numbers is 75.
So, n+n+1+n+2 = 75
3n+3 = 75
3n = 72
n = 72/3 = 24
∴ n =24
Then n+1 = 24+1 = 25 and n+2 = 24 +2 = 26
24,25 and 26 are the three consecutive natural numbers that satisfy the given condition .

Triangles ABC and DEF above are similar. How much longer than segment EF is segment DE ?
Note:
There are three ways to prove that two triangles are similar- AAA,
SAS, SSS.
AAA means that the corresponding angles are equal,
SAS means two sides of the triangles are in equal ratio and the angles between these two sides are equal,
SSS means that all three corresponding sides have equal ratio

The load capacity of a certain washing machine is 12 pounds. What is the approximate load capacity of the same washing machine, in kilograms?
( 1 kilogram = 2.2046 pounds)
Note:
There are many other units of weight such as ton, ounce, gram, stone, grain, milligram, etc. There is conversion formula for each of these pairs, for eg.
1 kilogram = 35.27 ounce= 0.16 stone= 1000 gram
1 pound= 16 ounce= 0.07 stone= 435.60 gram
