The fraction of the cake that was ron's pieces is 1/5.

<h3>What is the fraction of the cake was ron's pieces?</h3>

Ratio demonstrates how many times one number can fit into another number. Ratios contrast two numbers by ordinarily dividing them. A/B will be the formula if one is comparing one data point (A) to another data point (B).

Since Mrs Jones gave 1/5 of a cake to her neighbour, the remaining fraction will be:

= 1 - 1/5

= 4/5

The fraction of the cake that was ron's pieces will be:

= 2/(1+3+4) × 4/5

= 2/8 × 4/5

= 8/40

= 1/5

Which of the following functions best describes this graph?
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer: A. y=x²-9x+20

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see from the graph there are two x-intercepts: (4,0) (5,0)

The easiest way we can do, is we plug these two values into each of the choices.

A. y=x²-9x+20

(4, 0) YES

(5,0) YES

B. y=x²-8x+18

(4, 0) NO

(5, 0) NO

C. y=x²+9x+20

(4, 0) NO

(5, 0) NO

D. y=x²+x-12

(4, 0) NO

(5, 0) NO

Therefore, the answer should be y=x²-9x+20

Hope this helps!! :)

Your math teacher tells you that the next test is worth 100 points and contains 38 problems. Multiple-choice questions are worth
rusak2 [61]
If we assume that
x isthe number of multiple choice questions, and y is the number of word problems, we can write a system of equations like:
{ x + y = 38
{ 2x + 5y = 100

If we multiply the first equation by -2 we get:
{ -2x-2y = -76
{ 2x + 5y = 100

Now if we add both equations we get only equation with 1 unknown (y) :

3y = 24 ⇒ y = 8

Substituting the calculated value to the first equation we get:

x + 8 = 38 ⇒ x = 30

The solution:
{ x = 30
{ y = 8

means that:
The test had 30 multiple choice questions, and 8 word problems.
