Answer:

The wrong in Rafael reason is that 3/6 = 4/8 = 1/2 pizza

Step-by-step explanation:

* <em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

- When we have a quantity we can divided it to many equivalent

 fractions

- Equivalent fractions means fractions equal each other

- We can find the equivalent fraction by multiply or divide the two

 terms of the fraction by the same number

- Ex: We can divide a circle into two equal parts each part is 1/2 the

 circle, if we multiply each term of the fraction by 2 (up and down)

 then we will have 2/4 which is equivalent to 1/2 the circle

- Then we can divide the circle by 2 parts with many equivalent fractions

 1/2 = 2/4 = 3/6 = ..................

* <em>Lets solve the problem</em>

- Rafael wanted to order half a medium pizza

- The medium pizza could be cut into 6 or 8 slices

∵ The half of 6 is 3/6

∵ The half of 8 is 4/8

- <em>Lets simplify the two fraction</em>

∵ 3/6 = 1/2 by dividing up and down by 3

∵ 4/8 = 1/2 by dividing up and down by 4

∴ There is no difference between the two orders, both of them

   equal half the pizza

∴ The wrong in Rafael reason is that 3/6 = 4/8 = 1/2 pizza

How can you find the constant of
solong [7]

Answer:

To  find the constant of  proportionality from the coordinates of

one point on the graph are as follows :-

1.) Find two easy points.

2.) Start with the leftmost point and count how many squares you need to up to get to your second point.  

3.) Count how many squares you need to go to the right.  

4.) Simplify, and you've found your constant of proportionality.

What’s the distance formula
Whitepunk [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{Let}\ A(x_1,\ y_1)\ \text{and}\ B(x_2,\ y_2).\ \text{Then the distance between}\ A\ \text{and}\ B\ \text{is:}\\\\|AB|=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y1)^2}\\\\Example:\\\\A(2,\ 5),\ B(-1,\ 1)\\\\|AB|=\sqrt{(-1-2)^2+(1-5)^2}=\sqrt{(-3)^2+(-4)^2}=\sqrt{9+16}=\sqrt{25}=5
