<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<u>Given:</u>

Ms. Phillips ordered 56 pizzas for a school fundraiser.

Of the pizzas ordered:

  • \frac{2}{7} of them were pepperoni,
  • 19 were cheese, and
  • the rest were veggie pizzas.

<u>Question:</u>

What fraction of the pizzas was veggie?

<u>The Process:</u>

Let us create a suitable diagram based on the information above.

\boxed{56 \div 7 = 8} \rightarrow \boxed{8}\boxed{8}\boxed{8}\boxed{8}\boxed{8}\boxed{8}\boxed{8} = 56 \ pizzas

Then, \boxed{1 \ unit = 8 \ pizzas}

Of the pizzas ordered:

  • \frac{2}{7} of them were pepperoni, or 2 of 7 units, hence \boxed{2 \times 8 \ pizzas = 16 \ pizzas}
  • 19 were cheese, and
  • the rest were veggie pizzas.

Let us calculate the rest.

\boxed{ \ 56 - 16 - 19 = 21 \ veggie \ pizzas  \ }

And now, we determine the fraction of the pizzas was veggie.

\boxed{ \ \frac{21 \ veggie \ pizzas}{56 \ pizzas} \ }

The numerator and denominator are equally divided by 7.

\boxed{\boxed{ \ = \frac{3}{8} \ }}

Thus, \frac{3}{8} of the pizzas was veggie.

\frac{2}{7} • 56 = 16

so 16 pizzas are pepperoni 

19 pizzas are cheese

And the rest is Veggie

So now add 16 and 19 which is 35

Now subtract that from 50 which is 15

So 15 pizzas were Veggie pizzas

Angle I measured 20 degrees, side HI = 5, angle L = 20 degrees, and side KL =5. What additional information would you need to pr
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

IJ = LM.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Side-angle-side postulate states that if the pair of a corresponding sides and angles formed between these sides of two triangles are equal in measurement then these two triangle are said to be congruent.

As shown in figure 1 below:

In Δ HIJ and ΔKLM,

∠I = ∠L = 20° and HI = KL = 5 units

Since the ∠I lies between HI and IJ and ∠L lies between KL and LM, ∴ if IJ = LM then Δ HIJ and ΔKLM will be congruent by SAS postulate.
