2 cakes - Theresa's and Joe's
Theresa's cake had 6 pieces after she cut it. (2 times the size of Joe's pieces)
Joe's cake had 12 pieces after he cut it. (1/2 the size of Theresa's pieces)
We know that 8/12ths of ONE cake were eaten and that Joe ate 2 of his pieces.
We want to know how many pieces Theresa ate of her cake. Keeping in mind that her pieces are equal to 2 of Joe's pieces we can solve this question.
8/12 eaten total
if 2/12 by Joe
then 8-2 = 6, 6/12 by Theresa
(BUT: Theresa's pieces were twice the size of Joe's so we will divide by 2)
6/12 = 3/6
Answer: Theresa ate 3 pieces of her cake
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Corresponding angles of both the squares are congruent. (angles of a square measure 90°)
Ratio of the sides of the given squares = 
= 
This ratio of side lengths is constant for all corresponding sides.
Therefore, corresponding sides are proportional.
Since, all angles of both the squares are congruent and all the sides are proportional, both the squares will be similar.
Scale factor = 
= 
= 2.5
This sequence of similarity transformations shows the figures are similar.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A rational number are numbers that can be expressed as as fraction. They can be expressed as a ratio of two integers. An irrational is quite the opposite. An irrational number cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers.
Taking square root of two as an example;
√2 cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers because the result will always be a decimal. If expressed as √2/1, it is still not a rational number because of the square root of 2 at the numerator. Square root of 2 is not an integer even though 1 is an integer.
Mark is wrong because √2 is irrational and it is irrational because it cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers <em>not due to the fact that he can write it as a fraction.</em>
