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

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! :)

A certain bookstore chain has two stores, one in San Francisco and one in Los Angeles. It stocks three kinds of books: hardcover
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

<h2>See the explanation.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}T&H&S&P\\S&600&1300&2000\\L&400&300&400\end{array}\right] = A.

In the above matrix A, the columns refers the three type of books and the rows refers the from which stores the books are been sold.

The numbers represents the corresponding sales in the month of January.

The sale is same for the 6 months.

Hence, 6A = \left[\begin{array}{cccc}T&H&S&P\\S&3600&7800&12000\\L&2400&1800&2400\end{array}\right]. This matrix 6A represents the total sales over the 6 months.

(b)

If we denote the books in stock at the starting of January by B, then

B = \left[\begin{array}{cccc}T&H&S&P\\S&1000&3000&6000\\L&1000&6000&3000\end{array}\right].

Each month, the chain restocked the stores from its warehouse by shipping 500 hardcover, 1,400 softcover, and 1,400 plastic books to San Francisco and 500 hardcover, 500 softcover, and 500 plastic books to Los Angeles.

If we represent the amount restocked books at the end of each month by another matrix C, then

C = \left[\begin{array}{cccc}T&H&S&P\\S&500&1400&1400\\L&500&500&500\end{array}\right].

This restocking will be done for 5 times before the end of June.

If there would be no sale, then the stock would be

B + 5C = \left[\begin{array}{cccc}T&H&S&P\\S&1000+2500&3000+7000&6000+7000\\L&1000+2500&6000+2500&3000+2500\end{array}\right] \\= \left[\begin{array}{cccc}T&H&S&P\\S&3500&10000&13000\\L&3500&8500&5500\end{array}\right].

Since, the total sale is given by 6A, at the end of June, the inventory in each store can be shown as following,

B+5C-6A \left[\begin{array}{cccc}T&H&S&P\\S&3500&10000&13000\\L&3500&8500&5500\end{array}\right] - \left[\begin{array}{cccc}T&H&S&P\\S&3600&7800&12000\\L&2400&1800&2400\end{array}\right] \\= \left[\begin{array}{cccc}T&H&S&P\\S&-100&2200&1000\\L&1100&6700&3100\end{array}\right]
