Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given, A pizza is to be cut into halves.
Since half is represented by
.
So each piece is now
of the original.
if each of these halves is to be cut into sevenths, then the fraction of final pieces would be:
or we can say each half is divides into 7 pieces since there are two halves, so there will be 2 x 7 = 14 peices.
And the fraction of the pizza is each of the final pieces =
.
"Less than" means subtraction
The order they appear in tells me to subtract 9 from N.
n - 9
1/6 is greater than 1/8, because when you change the fractions 1/6 will be 4/24 but 1/8 will be 3/24. To change the fractions you first have to find the lowest number that both denominators can go in, so it is 24. 6 can go into 24 four times, so you multiply the numerator by 4 making 1/6 4/24. 8 can go into 24 three times, so you multiply the numerator by 3 so 1/8 = 3/24.
2.00+9.00+6.00+3.00+5.00+4.00+8.00-1.00-2.00= $34.00$1.44 - 34.00
41.44 - 34.00 = 7.44
The difference is $7.44, therefore the amount on the register is not reasonable.
Let x be the first jug, y the second jug.
From first statement, subtracting 1 from x, makes them equal:
x - 1 = y
From second statement, subtracting 2 from y, makes it half of x:
x/2 = y-2
Solve system with substitution:
x/2 = (x-1) -2
x/2 = x - 3
x- x/2 = 3
x/2 = 3
x = 6
y = x-1 = 6-1 = 5
Therefore the largest jug contains 6 liters.
