There are 12 team members. They each ate 3 slices of pizza. Each pizza was cut into 8 slices. What fraction of the pizza did the

First I'd assume each "pizza" refers to the number of pizza pies. Each pizza pie includes 8 slices. Since there are 12 team members, and each at three, therefore 36 slices total were eaten by each of the 12 team members (12x3). Since you know that 8 slices make up a pizza pie, how many pies do you need to have at least 36 slices? The answer is 5 pies (or 40 slices). So the team ate 36/40 slices or 9/10 pizzas.

The product of the roots of 8x_ - 2x = 1 is

$\\8x^2-2x-1=0
 \\8x^2-4x+2x-1=0
 \\4x(2x-1)+1(2x-1)=0
 \\(4x+1)(2x-1)=0 
$
Roots are $x=- \frac{1}{4}$ and $x= \frac{1}{2}$ 

 $- \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} =- \frac{1}{8}$
