Yes, Vicki's statement is true.
The fruit tart was split into 6 pieces and to find what 1/3 of 6 is, you'd have to divide 6/3 which equals 2. So, 1/3 of 6 is 2 and each girl took home 2 pieces (1/3) of the tart home
X=5
because 3 goes into 12 4 times and 20 divided by 4 equals 5
The answer would be 61. First, if you are trying to figure out the pattern. You must subtract the
second number with the first then fourth number with the fifth and so
on, you get.
73 minus 66 equals 7.
21 minus 13 equals 8.
XX minus 52 equals x.
20 minus 10 equals 10.
Basing on the pattern of the set of numbers, x will equal 9, To get this you must do 52 and 9 which will equal 61.
Mistake:
Step 2
Instead of multiplying it should divide:
(5a^2/ 9b^2) / (3a / b^2 a)
(5a^2 / 9b^2) * (b^2a / 3a)
5a^2b^2 / 27b^2a
b^2 / b^2 = 1
a^2 / a = a
5a / 27
D
Using long division - x+4 goes into 3x^2 3x times, draw the line and change the sign, drop the -4. -x-4 goes into x+4 -1 times, so 3x-1 is the answer.
