Answer:
The answers to each part are:
Part A.
- <u>The quantity of apples is one-third of the quantity of grapes</u>.
Part B.
- <u>The quantity of apples is a quarter of the quantity of strawberries</u>.
Part C.
- <u>The number of cherries is two-elevenths of the total fruit</u>.
Step-by-step explanation:
To identify the answer in each case, you must remember that all the parts are equal, then:
Part A.
The parts of apples are 1 and the parts grapes are 3, so if you divide the first quantity with the second quantity you obtain:
So, <u>the quantity of apples is one-third of the quantity of grapes</u> or the quantity of apples is three times smaller than the quantity of grapes.
Part B.
The parts of apples are 1 and the parts of strawberries are 4, then you must divide the first quantity with the second quantity:
In this case, <u>the quantity of apples is a quarter of the quantity of strawberries</u> or the quantity of apples is four times smaller than the quantity of strawberries.
Part C.
First, you must add all the part of fruit:
- <em>1 part apple</em>
- <em>1 part orange</em>
- <em>4 parts strawberry</em>
- <em>2 parts cherry </em>
- <em>3 parts grape</em>
The total of fruits is 11 parts, taking into account the quantity of cherries is 2, now you can divide the number of cherries with the total parts of fruit:
- 2 / 11 = 2/11 (two-elevenths)
Now, you can see <u>the number of cherries is two-elevenths of the total fruit</u>.
It's simple. First, multiply 3/4 by 5. As a decimal, this equals 3.75. Therefore, the number of miles marine bikes on Tuesday is between 3 and 4.

Step-by-step explanation:
The shape of the new pizza must meet the conditions:
- Be an irregular polygon (different sides and/or angles).
- Have at least five sides.
- Have the approximately the same area as a 14" diameter circle.
- Fit in a 14⅛" × 14⅛" square.
- Be divisible into 8-12 equal pieces.
For simplicity, I will choose a polygon with 5 sides (a pentagon), and I will use 2 right angles (a "house" shape).
Split the pentagon into a rectangle on bottom and triangle on top. If we cut the rectangle into 8 pieces like a regular pizza, and the triangle in half, we get 10 triangles.
Now we just need to figure out the dimensions. The area of a 14" circular pizza is:
A = πr²
A = π (7 in)²
A ≈ 154 in²
That means the area of each triangle slice needs to be 15.4 in². If we make the total width of the pentagon 14", then the width of each triangle is 7", and the height of each triangle is:
A = ½ bh
15.4 in² = ½ (7 in) h
h = 4.4 in
Which makes the total height of the pentagon 3h = 13.2 in.
So, our 13.2" × 14" pentagon has at least 5 sides, is irregular, has the same area as a 14" diameter circle, fits in a 14⅛" × 14⅛" square, and can be divided into 8-12 equal pieces.
Of course, there are many possible solutions. This is just one way.
