<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

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

So first, we have to test the pairs. Let start with equation 1.

7=\=3 x

4=\=2 x

I need help on this problem in math
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

  • correct answer is C
  • Haley incorrectly applied the distributive property

Step-by-step explanation:

If you simplify the given equation, you find it matches choice C.

  \dfrac{1}{2}(6-x)+3x=\dfrac{1}{2}x-8\\\\3-\dfrac{1}{2}x+3x=\dfrac{1}{2}x-8\\\\3+\dfrac{5}{2}x=\dfrac{1}{2}x-8\qquad\text{matches choice C}

__

Haley's error seems to be failing to distribute the 1/2 properly when she eliminated parentheses. Apparent, she incorrectly decided that ...

  1/2(6 -x)  ⇒  3 -x . . . . instead of 3 -1/2x

Then when -x was added to +3x, she got 2x. Had she done it properly, she would have added -1/2x to +3x to get 5/2x.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

It is a common error to "distribute" the factor outside parentheses to the first term only, as Haley apparently did. Another common error is to fail to distribute minus signs properly. The distributive property requires you apply the outside factor to <em>all</em> of the terms inside parentheses.
