Let the integers be n, n+1, n+2. Their sum is 3n+3=72. Solving gives n=23, so the integers are 23, 24, 25 .

The least common multiple of 12 and 15 is 60. The smallest number greater than 50 that satisfies this condition is 60 .

Substitute x = 5 into y = 3x + 4 to get y = 3(5) + 4 = 19 .

There are 24 red marbles (1/3 of 72). That leaves 48 marbles to be divided between blue and green. Since they are evenly divided, there are 24 green marbles .

The first train has a 1-hour head start, traveling 80 km. The relative speed is 100 - 80 = 20 km/h. Time to catch up is 80/20 = 4 hours. The second train catches up at 2:00 PM .

Let the number be x. Since 60% of x is 48, solve 0.6x = 48 to find x = 80 .

Let the numbers be x and y. From the equations x + y = 36 and x - y = 12, solving these gives x = 24 and y = 12 .

The total ratio parts is 5 + 3 = 8. Each part is 40 / 8 = 5 students. Thus, there are 5 × 3 = 15 girls .

Let Jane's original amount be y. (2/5)y = 40 because 3/5 is spent. Solving y = 100 .

This is a right triangle because 6² + 8² = 36 + 64 = 100 = 10², satisfying the Pythagorean theorem .
