Question

three consecutive number and divided by 15,20,25, respectively then the sum of their quotients is 12.represent this data in equation form

Answer 1

Let the three numbers be x, x+1 and x+2.

Those three numbers are divided by 15, 20 and 25 respectively. Therefore, the numbers will be: $\frac{x}{15}, \frac{x+1}{20}$ and $\frac{x+2}{25}$

The quotient is the resultant from the division of two numbers. Since the sum of these numbers' quotients is 12, the final equation will be:

$\frac{x}{15}+ \frac{x+1}{20}+\frac{x+2}{20}=12$
