Answer:
2 pieces.
Step-by-step explanation:
To identify how many pieces he can split with 8/10 of a candy bar, divide 8/10 by 1/3.
<u>Divide 8/10 by 1/3:</u>
<u>Find the Ricipricol, then flip the sign:</u>
<u>Multiply:</u>
<u />
2.4 represents how many pieces of chocolate he can make with 8/10 of a candy bar.
However, 2.4 pieces can't be made, therefore he can only make 2 <u>full</u> pieces.
For E to be the midpoint of DF, it needs to divide DF in 2 equal segments, DE and EF. If E is the midpoint of DF, then DE and EF are equal, so the reason is that the expressions for DE and EF are equal. The reason is:
Hm. This is an interesting problem.
Let's see if we can express each of these numbers in terms of x and make an algebra equation to help us solve.
Consecutive even numbers increase by 2.
Let's allow x to equal our first number.
Let's allow x + 2 to equal our 2nd number.
Let's allow x + 4 to equal our 3rd number.
When we add those together, their sum need to equal 50 more than the largest integer (our x + 4)
Let's set it up!
x + (x +2) + (x + 4) = (x + 4) + 50
Simplify!
3x + 6 = x + 54
Let's reorganize the left and right sides.
3x - x = 54 - 6
2x = 48
x = 24 (our 1st even number)
Now, let's check our answer!
24 + 26 + 28 = 78
78 - 50 = 28 Our highest integer.
The sum of consecutive integers 24, 26, 28 is 50 more than the highest integer.
