Assuming you mean "the result is less than the first number", this isn't always true: * The answer will indeed be LESS than the first number, if you divide by a number that is GREATER THAN one. * On the other hand, the answer will be GREATER than the first number, if you divide by a number that is LESS THAN one. For example, if you divide 6 by 2, you get 3, which is less than 6. On the other hand, if you divide 6 by 1/2, you get 12, which is more than 6.
the sum of three numbers is 64. the second number is 3 less than the first number, the third number is 11 less than twice the first. what are the three numbers?
3 less than the product of 9 and a number
Three less than a number squared can be expressed mathematically as ( x^2 - 3 ), where ( x ) represents the number. This formula indicates that you first square the number and then subtract three from the result. For example, if the number is 4, then three less than the number squared would be ( 4^2 - 3 = 16 - 3 = 13 ).
Five less than three times a number ( b ) can be expressed mathematically as ( 3b - 5 ). This means you first multiply the number ( b ) by 3 and then subtract 5 from the result.
The closest whole number to 3/8 would be 1. It is less than the first whole number.
The second number is 1 less than the first, the third number is 2 less than the second, the fourth number is 3 less than the third, and so on. The nth term in the sequence is given by tn = -0.5*x2 + 0.5*x + 4
No, -3 is not less than -10. In fact, -3 is greater than -10 because it is closer to zero on the number line. The further left a number is on the number line, the smaller it is, which means -10 is less than -3.
There are no numbers that are more than 5 but less than 3. 3 is less than 5, so anything that is less than 3 is also less than 5.
There is no such number.
You should subtract in powers with the base of 3 The smallest number less than 23 is 32 or 9 The smallest multiple of 9 less than 23 is 18 ( 2 X 9 ), so 2 is your first number 23 - 18 = 5 The smallest number less than 5 is 31 or 3 The smallest multiple of 3 less than 5 is 1 ( 1 X 3 ), so 1 is your next number 5 - 3 = 2 So the answer is 212
