How can 8 students share a pizza cut into 12 slices without cutting any of the slices?

1 answer:

Hmmm...
We have to divide 12 by 8, since we need to see how 8 students will share 12 slices.

12/8=1 and 1/2

So, each student can have a slice and a half, but since we aren't allowed to cut the slices...

We can let each student have one slice, with 4 left over, so...

Every student can have one slice, and then half can have a second slice :)!

I'm not sure if that is what was meant by the question, but that was all I could think of.

I hope I helped! :)

Answer:

t = 25.1seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

X(t)= 16cos75°t

Y(t)= 6 + (Vosin75°t - 16t^2)

Converting 78 yards to feet :

1 yard = 3 feet

78feet =?

78×3=234 feet

Y(t)= number of feet above the ground at t seconds

VoCos75° t = 234

t = 234/(VoCos75°)

At this time,4 = y(234/VoCos75°)

4 = 6 + VoSin75°(234/VoCos75) - 16(234/VoCos75°)^2

Vo= 140.66ft/s

Time,t= 234/(140.66× Cos75°)

t = 25.087seconds

t= 25.1 seconds (1 decimal place)

What value ofx is in the solution set of 3(x-4)>5x +2?

kvv77 [185]

$\boldsymbol{\sf{3(x-4) > 5x +2 }}$

Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x−4.

$\boldsymbol{\sf{3x-12 > 5x+2 }}$

Subtract 5x on both sides.

$\boldsymbol{\sf{3x-12-5x > 2 } }$

Combine 3x and −5x to get −2x.

$\boldsymbol{\sf{-2x-12 > 2 }}$

Add 12 to both sides.

$\boldsymbol{\sf{-2x > 2+12 \ \longmapsto \ \ [Add \ 2 +12]}}$

$\boldsymbol{\sf{-2x > 14}}$

Divide both sides by −2. Since −2 is < 0, the inequality direction is changed.

$\boldsymbol{\sf{x < \dfrac{14}{-2} \ \ \longmapsto \ \ \ [Split]}}$

$\boxed{\boldsymbol{\sf{x < -7 }}}$

So in the <u>inequality 3(x-4)>5x +2</u>, the value of x is -7.

What do I do for this problem

slamgirl [31]

To divide fractions, you need to multiply by the reciprocal. The reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3, which is why the work is incorrect.

If two points on line l above have coordinates (0, A) and (2, −3), and the slope of the line is A, then what is the value of A?

Vlada [557]

Answer:

A = -1

So, option (B) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two points on line have coordinates: p (x₁, y₁) = (0, A) and q(x₂, y₂) = (2 , -3)

Slope of line = A

Slope of line = $\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} -x_{1}}$

Now since the slope of line is A and its has two coordinates (0, A) and (2 , -3), ∴

$A = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} -x_{1}}$

$A = \frac{-3 - A}{2 - 0}$

$2A = -3 - A$

$2A + A = -3$

$3A = -3$

$A = -1$

So, option (B) is the correct answer.
