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

The longest diagonal
Ratling [72]
The diagonals are:
diagonal₁=2x+3y
diagonal₂=(x+8)+(2y+5)
We have to solve the following system of equations:
2x=3y
(x+8)=(2y+5)
We solve this system by substitution method:
2x=3y  ⇒x=3y/2

(3y/2 +8)=2y+5
3y+16=4y+10
-y=-6
y=6

x=3y/2=3*6/2=9

we obtain the measure of the diagonals:
diagonal₁=2x+3y=2*9+3*6=18+18=36
diagonal₂=(x+8)+(2y+5)=(9+8)+(2*6+5)=17+17=34

Answer: The longest diagonal is 36 units.

How do you solve 1/3(2x-4)+5=-2/3(x+1)
Musya8 [376]
Heyo!

Solve the equation

1/3(2x -4) + 5 = -2/3(x +1)

Distribute 1/3 through the parenthesis

2/3x -4/3 + 5 = -2/3(x +1)

Distribute -2/3 through the parenthesis

2/3x -4/3 + 5 = -2/3x - 2/3

Calculate the sum or difference

2/3x + 11/3 = -2/3x -2/3

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3

2x + 11 = -2x -2

Move variable to the left side and change its sign

2x + 2x + 11 = -2

Move constant to the right side and change its sign

2x + 2x = -2 -11

Collect the like terms

4x = -2 -11

Calculate the sum or difference

4x = -13

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

x = -13/4
