Break fast =  1/4
Tea time =  3/5
Still 18 left.

Fraction left =  1 - (1/4 + 3/5) = 

1/4 + 3/5 =  (1/4)*(5/5) + (3/5)*(4/4) = 5/20 + 12/20 = (5 + 12)/ 20

 = 17/20

Fraction left =  1 - (1/4 + 3/5) =  1 - 17/20 = (20 - 17)/20 = 3/20

Fraction left = 3/20

Assuming total number of cookies in the package is x.

(3/20)x = 18

3x/20 = 18

3x = 18*20

x = 18*20/3 = 120

There were 120 cookies in the package.

Ok so
1/4 of total eaten
3/4 left
3/5 of 3/4 eaten
9/20 left
18=9/20 of whole
multiply both sides by 20
360=9 of whole
divide both sides by 9
40=whole


40 total originlly

A triangle and a rectangle are shown below.
nadezda [96]

Answer:

10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram,

Applying,

lw = 5/2(bh)..................... Equation 1

Where l = length of the rectangle, w = width of the rectangle, b = base of the triangle, h = height of the triangle.

make w the subject of the equation

w = 5(bh)/2l............... Equation 2

From the diagram,

Given: l = 12 cm, b = 6 cm, h = 8 cm

Substitute into equation 2

w = 5(6×8)/(2×12)

w = 10 cm

Hence the width of the rectangle is 10 cm
