Step-by-step explanation:
porportional means they scale by the same ratio
L / W = L_1 / W_2 = 5.4 / 2.5 = 6.21 / x
solve for x
Answer:
1 slice will be left because there are 16 slices and 15 guests
Step-by-step explanation:
Well it would be 4 2/3 or 14/3
The answer would be 8 1/4 because if you have the opposite of the opposite you get what you started with. For example the opposite of night is day then the opposite of day is night so you end up with what you started with.

Answer: 16/33</h3>
It's in p/q form where p = 16 and q = 33.
=======================================================
Work Shown:
x = 0.484848.....
100x = 48.4848.....
I multiplied both sides by 100 to move the decimal over 2 spots. Both decimal values for x and 100x have an infinite string of "48"s repeated after the decimal point. When we subtract, those infinite strings will cancel out
100x - x = 99x
48.4848..... - 0.484848..... = 48
So after subtracting straight down, we have the new equation 99x = 48 which solves to x = 48/99
Divide both parts by the GCF 3 to fully reduce
48/3 = 16
99/3 = 33
Therefore, x = 48/99 = 16/33 = 0.484848...
I recommend using a calculator to confirm that 16/33 = 0.484848...
Side note: your calculator may round the last digit, but this is of course rounding error
