Mike has 10 and a half cookies (10.5). Mike wants to share these cookies with 5 friends. How many cookies does each friend get. The answer is 2.1 one (Or 2 and 1 crumb I guess lol). You place the decimal point where ever it was originally so you would place it after the 2 and before the one. It's been a while since I've done one of these problems so sorry if I'm a little rusty.

A lawyer spends $75.00 on 3 staplers and 3 pads of paper. If each stapler costs $21.75, and each pad of paper costs x dollars, w

PtichkaEL [24]

Each pad of paper cost 3.25. Here is how I found it.

21.75 x 3 = 65.25
75 - 65.25 = 9.75
9.75 / 3 = 3.25

X = 3.25

Gina wrote the following paragraph to prove that the segment joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the

Georgia [21]

Answer: The answers are

(i) The slope of segments DE and AC is not 0.

(ii) The coordinates of D and E were found using the Midpoint Formula.

Step-by-step explanation: We can easily see in the proof that the co-ordinates of D and E were found using the mid-point formula, not distance between two points formula. So, this is the first flaw in the Gina's proof.

Also, we see that the slope of line DE and AC, both are same, not equal to 0 but is equal to

$\dfrac{y_2}{x_2},$

which is 0 only if $y_2=0.$

So, this is the second mistake.

Thus, the statements that corrects the flaw in Gina's proof are

(i) The slope of segments DE and AC is not 0.

(ii) The coordinates of D and E were found using the Midpoint Formula.
