If you have a large bowl of salad (which is a whole 1) and your brother eats 1/3 of it before your friends come over, then you have:

1 - 1/3 = 2/3 of salad left

We don't know how many friends will come, so let's assume it's x of them who will visit you. In such case we have to divide 2/3 by x friends:

2/3 ÷ x =
= 2/3 * 1/x =
= 2/3x

Answer: Each friend will get 2/3x of the salad.

Can someone pls help? ab to fail geometry. any help is nice.

By the law of cosines, the angle C satisfies

8.77^2=2^2+9^2-2\times2\times9\times\cos C

which reduces to

\cos C=0.2246\implies C=\arccos(0.2246)\approx1.34422\text{ rad}

which converts to approximately 77 degrees (this can be done my multiplying by 180 and dividing by pi).

Mervin has some cartons of milk. He sold 2/5 of milk in the morning. He sold 3/4 of the remainder in the afternoon. 24 more cart
sergejj [24]

2/5 were sold in the morning. This is equal to 40% of the total.  That leaves 60% leftover.

 

3/4 were sold in the afternoon. This is equal to 75% of the 60% leftover or 45% of the total (.6x.75).

 

The difference between the two sales is 24 cartons or 5% (45%-40%). If 5% is equal to 24 then you can cross multiply to see what is the equivalent number of cartons out of 100%.

 

5/100 = 24/x

5x = 24(100)

5x = 2400

x = 480

 

ANSWER: 480 cartons
