<u>Answer:</u>

<u>\frac {3} {8}</u>

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Maria ate a quarter of a whole pie = \frac{1}{4}

Left over pie = 1 - \frac {1} {4} = \frac {3} {4}

Edwin ate 1/3 of what was left = \frac {1} {4} * \frac {3} {4} = \frac {3} {16}

Left over pie = \frac{3}{4} - \frac{3}{16} =\frac{9}{16}

Cristina ate 1/3 of what was left = \frac{1}{3}*\frac{9}{16}=\frac{3}{16}

Left over pie = \frac{9}{16} - \frac {3} {16} = \frac {6} {16} = \frac {3} {8}

After Martha ate 1/4 of the pie there is 3/4 left.

Edwin ate 1/4 of 3/4.

so multiply 1/4 and 3/4 ---> 1/4*3/4=3/16

to find the leftover subtract 3/16 from 3/4

3/4-3/16

12/16-3/16=9/16

Christina ate 1/3 of 9/16

multiply 1/3 by 9/16

1/3*9/16=3/16

find the leftover by subtracting 3/16 from 9/16

9/16-3/16=6/16

divide by 2

3/8

Which number completes this number sentence? [ ? ] &gt; -6<br> A.-8<br> B.-7<br> C.-6<br> D.0
Xelga [282]

Answer:

It is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Unlike the positive side of the number line which increases its value as it goes up in numbers, the negative side of a number line increases its value as it goes goes down in numbers as the more closer a negative number is to the positive side of infinity, the greater value it has. In this instance, zero is the greater number than -6 and all other negative numbers.
