Note that they together ate all of the pizza.
Therefore the total fractions they ate should add up to 1.
By letting the fraction Jodie ate be x.
x + 2/5 + 1/4 = 1
x = 7/20
The answer is 7/20.

(x^2) <64 => (x^2) -64 < 64-64 => (x^2) - 64 < 0 64= 8^2 so (x^2) - (8^2) < 0 To solve the inequality we first find the roots (values of x that make (x^2) - (8^2) = 0 ) Note that if we can express (x^2) - (y^2) as (x-y)* (x+y) You can work backwards and verify this is true. so let's set (x^2) - (8^2) equal to zero to find the roots: (x^2) - (8^2) = 0 => (x-8)*(x+8) = 0 if x-8 = 0 => x=8 and if x+8 = 0 => x=-8 So x= +/-8 are the roots of x^2) - (8^2)Now you need to pick any x values less than -8 (the smaller root) , one x value between -8 and +8 (the two roots), and one x value greater than 8 (the greater root) and see if the sign is positive or negative. 1) Let's pick -10 (which is smaller than -8). If x=-10, then (x^2) - (8^2) = 100-64 = 36>0 so it is positive
2) Let's pick 0 (which is greater than -8, larger than 8). If x=0, then (x^2) - (8^2) = 0-64 = -64 <0 so it is negative3) Let's pick +10 (which is greater than 10). If x=-10, then (x^2) - (8^2) = 100-64 = 36>0 so it is positive Since we are interested in (x^2) - 64 < 0, then x should be between -8 and positive 8. So -8<x<8 Note: If you choose any number outside this range for x, and square it it will be greater than 64 and so it is not valid.
Hope this helped!

The answer is (3600 - 900π) ft²
Step 1. Find the radius r of circles.
Step 2. Find the area of the portion of the field that will be watered by the sprinklers (A1)
Step 3. Find the total area of the field (A2)
Step 4. Find the area of the portion of the field that will not be watered by the sprinklers (A)
Step 1. Find the radius r of circles
r = ?
According to the image, radius of a square is one fourth of the field side length:
r = s/4
s = 60 ft
r = 60/4 = 15 ft
Step 2. Find the area of the portion of the field that will be watered by the sprinklers.
The area of the field that will be watered by the sprinklers (A1) is actually total area of 4 circles with radius 15 ft.
Since the area of a circle is π r², then A1 is:
A1 = 4 * π r² = 4 * π * 15² = 900π ft²
Step 3. Find the total area of the field (A2)
The field is actually a square with side s = 60 ft.
A2 = s² = 60² = 3600 ft²
Step 4. Find the area of the portion of the field that will not be watered by the sprinklers (A).
To get the area of the portion of the field that will not be watered by the sprinklers (A) we need to subtract the area of 4 circles from the total area:
A = A2 - A1
A = (3600 - 900π) ft²
