The sum of 6 consecutive integers is 597
What is the 3rd number in this sequence?

First represent your 6 consecutive integers as follows.

X ⇒ first integer

X + 1 ⇒ second integer

X + 2 ⇒ third integer

X + 3 ⇒ fourth integer

X + 4 ⇒ fifth integer

X + 5 ⇒ sixth integer

Since their sum is 597, our equation reads

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) + (x + 4) + (x + 5) = 597.

Simplifying on the left we get 6x + 15 = 597.

Now subtract 15 from both sides to get 6x = 582.

Now dividing both sides by 6, we find that x = 97.

So our first integer, x, is 97.

Our third integer would be x + 2 or 97 + 2 which is 99.

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'.
