If he cut the loaf into equal pieces, then told you 1/3 was left you could check the even multiples of three. Such as six. So he could have 2 pieces left of his loaf if he cut them into six pieces because 1/3 = 2/6
10-3=7 3-10=7 if u need help with anything else u can ask
There are three groups of people: 25 years old and younger, between 25 to 50, and 50 years old and older. Their fractions must equal to 1 because these three together form the whole.
1 = 1/3 + 2/7 + x
where x is the fraction for people ages 25 to 50 years old
x = 8/21
So, the actual number of people ages 25 to 50 years old is:
84(8/21) = 32 people
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter = 2(l + w)
l = 8.5cm, perimeter = 24cm
24 = 2(8.5 + w)
Dividing through by 2
24/2 = 8.5 + w
12 = 8.5 + w
W = 12 - 8.5
W = 3.5cm
