If Carl takes a pizza with 8 slices and has three friends eat a slice, what fraction of the pizza is left?

2 answers:

8 0

Ok so the wording is confusing

is it
A. 3 friends took 1 slice each (total is 3 slice) or
B. 3 friends took 1 slice total

if A, go to AAAAAA
if B. to to BBBBB

AAAAAAAAAA
3 slices taken
fraction is parts out of whole
what is left
left=original-taken
taken=3
original=8
8-3=5
5=left
fraction is 5/total=5/8

BBBBBB
taken=1
fraction is parts out of whole
what is left
left=original-taken
taken=1
original=8
8-1=7
7=left
fraction is 7/total=7/8

if 3 slices taken total then 5/8 left
if 1 slice taken totl then 7/8 left

Austin keeps a right conical basin for the birds in his garden as represented in the diagram. The basin is 40 centimeters deep,

Lina20 [59]

The shortest distance between the tip of the cone and its rim exits 51.11cm.

<h3>What is the shortest distance between the tip of the cone and its rim?</h3>

If you draw a line along the middle of the cone, you'd finish up with two right triangles and the line even bisects the angle between the sloping sides. The shortest distance between the tip of the cone and its rim exists in the hypotenuse of a right triangle with one angle calculating 38.5°. So, utilizing trigonometry and allowing x as the measurement of the shortest distance between the tip of the cone and its rim.

Cos 38.5 = 40 / x

Solving the value of x, we get

Multiply both sides by x

$$\cos \left(38.5^{\circ}\right) x=\frac{40}{x} x$
