Answer:

Smallest number = 172

Step-by-step explanation:

Two consecutive even integers have a sum of 346.

Let x be the smallest number.

We have other number = x + 2

We also have

x + x + 2 = 346

2x + 2 = 346

2 x = 344

x = 172

Smallest number = 172, Other number = 172 + 2 = 174

Smallest number = 172

Assume two numbers are n and n+2

Then n+ n+2 = 346 -> 2n = 344 -> n= 172

So the smaller one is 172, another one is 174

Answer: 15.7 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the time in the beginning (in minutes).

Given: The track team is trying to reduce their time for a relay race.

First they reduce their time by $t_1=$ 2.1 minutes.

Then they are able to reduce that time by $t_2=$ 10

If their final time is 3.96 minutes, then

$x-t_1-t_2=3.6\\\Rightarrow\ x=3.6+t_1+t_2\\\Rightarrow\ x=3.6+2.1+10\\\Rightarrow\ x= 15.7$

Hence, their beginning time was 15.7 minutes.

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

40%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the owners of Expo Company John Smith and Susan Jones invested $240,000 and $160,000 into the business respectively. We are asked to find the percentage of business owned by Susan.

Let us figure out total money invested in business by adding the money invested by John Smith and Susan Jones.

$\text{Total money invested in business}=\$240,000+\$160,000$

$\text{Total money invested in business}=\$400,000$

Now we will find $160,000 is what percent of $400,000.

$\text{Percentage of business Susan own}=\frac{160,000}{400,000}\times 100$

$\text{Percentage of business Susan own}=0.4\times 100$

$\text{Percentage of business Susan own}=40$

Therefore, Susan owns 40% of the business.
