Answer:
6 slices
Step-by-step explanation:
The full pizza is 12 pieces. Divide 12 by 4 to find out how much she ate on Thursday. 1/4 of 12 is 3 so she ate 3 slices on Thursday. Subtract 3 from 12 to find out how much was left for the next day. There were 9 slices the next day. Next, divide 9 by 3 to find out what 1/3 of 9 is. 1/3 of 9 is 3 so subtract 3 from the 9 slices. 6 slices are the original pizza remain.
81.42
= 81+ 0.42
= 81+ 42/100
= 81+ (42/2) / (100/2)
= 81+ 21/50
= 81 21/50
The final answer is 81 21/50~
So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 full to 3/4 full.
Let's change 3/4 to the equivalent fraction 6/8 so that the denominators are the same. (3/4 = 6/8)
So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 to 6/8 Those 15 gallons must be 5/8 of the tank's capacity 6/8 - 1/8 = 5/8
So 15 is 5/8 of what number? (This will tell us the capacity of the whole tank)
15 = 5/8n
Divide both sides by 5/8 (remembering to multiply by the reciprocal 8/5)
15 ÷ 5/8 = 15 x 8/5 = 18
So the tank holds 24 gallons and (since it is 3/4 full or has 18 gallons) it needs 6 gallons to fill the tank.
Check - at first 1/8 full (1/8 of 24 = 3) So we started with 3 gallons. 15 gallons added to the 3 gallons is 18 gallons. Now the tank is 6/8 (3/4 full). The remaining 1/4 (2/8) of a tank is the difference between 18 and it's capacity (24 gallons) so it will need 6 gallons to fill it up..
x = 12 , y = 18 (12, 18) is the solution, intersection of the two lines.
