Ruby eats two slices of pie

Fraction generally represents a part of the whole. The number present in the upper side is called as numerator and the number present below is called as denominator. Fraction can also be represented as a decimal or percentage when required.

Fraction of pie Ruby ate = 1/5

Number of slices present in the pie = 10

numerical value of a fraction = fraction x total number

So, total number of slices of pie that Ruby ate = 10 x 1/5 = 2

Therefore, Ruby eats two slices of pie.

Ruby ate 1/5 of a pie and if there was 10 slices of pie, it implies Ruby eats two slices of pie.

Answer:

The students can group themselves in 360360 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise we need to use the following equation:

$\frac{n!}{n1!*n2!*...*nk!}$

This equation give us the number of assignation of n elements in k cell, where n1, n2, ..nk are the element that are in every cell

In this case we have 15 student that need to be assign in three vehicles with an specific capacity. This vehicles would be the equivalent to cells, so we can write the equation as:

$\frac{15!}{7!*5!*3!}$
