Step-by-step explanation:
First, convert 3 into a fraction with denominator 8.
(3 pizzas)(8/8 pizzas)=24/8 pizzas
Then, divide 24/8 pizzas by 2/8 pizzas per 1 person.
(24/8 pizzas)(2/8 pizzas/person)
Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal:
(24/8)/(2/8)=(24/8)×(8/2) the 8s cancel and you are left with 24/2=12
3 pizzas will feed 12 people.
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
a = 0, a = 2/5
Discussion:
10a(5a-2) = 0 => A*B = 0 if A or B (or both ) = 0
a = 0 or 5a -2 = 0 =>
a = 0, a = 2/5
Thank you,
MrB
