She began with 1/4 pound of clay, 
divided into 2, means (1/4)/2 for making vase and (1/4)/2 for making pots

now, first you must realise, that when we divide by 2, we are really dividing by 2/1, because every number, including 2, divided by 1 is itself. so 2/1 = 2
however, if we invert this (turn it upside down) , then 2/1 becomes 1/2 or a half. 

so if we have (1/4)/(2/1) and we turn 2/1 upside down (1/2) and multiply this by (1/4) we get : (1/4) x (1/2)  = 1/8

[To get 1/8 simply multiply the number on the top of the first fraction by the other number on the top of the second fraction, and then multiply the number on the bottom of the first fraction, by the number on the bottom of the second fraction].


Now, we have to do this twice, because, remember at the start the question said: (1/4)/2 for vase and (1/4)/2 for pots:

So each piece weighs 1/8 pounds.of clay

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer: 204 students

Step-by-step explanation: To find  out the greatest number of students that can fit at the 17 tables in the school cafeteria, we simply need to multiply the number of students that can fit at each table by the number of tables.

12 students can fit at 1 table and there are 17 tables.

So we have (12)(17) which is 204.

So the greatest number of students that can be seated din the cafeteria is 204 students.

What is the vertex form, f(x) = a(x - h)2-k, for a parabola that passes through the point (2,8) and has (1,0) as its
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

f(x) = a(x - h)²-k   ....vertex form  when the vertex is : (h,k)

h=1  and  k=0   so : f(x) = a(x-1)²

a parabola that passes through the point (2,8) : f(2)=8

a(2-1)² =8

a= 8

f(x) = 8(x-1)²=  8(x²-2x+1)

f(x) 8x²-16x+8   .....standard form
