The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 582. What is the 1st number?

The first number is 192 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three consecutive even numbers

be x , x+2 and x +4 .  

Their sum = 582

x + (x+2) + (x+4) = 582  

x + x +2 + x +4 = 582

3x + 6 = 582

3x = 582 - 6

3x = 576

x =  

x = 192

First number = 192

Second number = 192 + 2 = 194

Third number = 192 + 4 = 196

answer: a

step-by-step explanation:

d. millimeters per hour.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that,

carlo used a rain gauge to measure the amount of water his lawn is receiving from the sprinklers.

since, according to the options, we see that,

water cannot be measured by 'miles per hour', 'meters per second' and 'grams per seconds'.

we get that, the water can be measured by 'millimeters per hour'.

hence, the appropriate rate for describing the amount of water is 'millimeters per hour'.
