After completing the problem, write out the steps, in words, that you used to solve the problem.??????????????Please write the steps to so I can understand Please...Thankyou

Answer 1

37, 39, 41, and 43. The least is 37, and the greatest is 43. :)

Answer 2

To find the off integers that add to 160, first divide 160 by 4 to get 40. Now you know the four numbers will be around 40, which means that two of the number will be less than 40 and two will be greater than 40. Since they have to be odd, consecutive integers, you know that the four number are 37,39,41,43. To check your work, add the numbers together to get 160. :)
