Answer:

a. They all get the same quantity of ice cream.

b. Fraction of the pint of ice cream that will be left is 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Tape diagram is attached to support reasoning.

a. Youngest grandchild 1/5 of the ice cream

Middle grandchild 1/4 of the remaining ice

The remaining ice is 4/5.  

To get how much he gave to the middle grandchild we make 1/4 x 4/5

For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get

1×4/4×5=4/20

This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 4 and 20 using

GCF(4,20) = 4

=1/4×4/5=1/5

We make the same for the last grand child.  

Remaining ice is 3/5 ( we discount the previous servings)

=1/3 x 3/5= 1/5

b. If Grandpa serves himself the same amount, 1/5,

That will be 1/5 for each person ( they are 4 persons),  we use 4/5

Then, will be left 1/5

the price of a bike at store A is 5/6 the price at Store B. The price at Store A is $150.60. write and solve an equation to find
Aleks04 [339]
A = 5/6B
A = 150.60

150.60 = 5/6B
150.60 / (5/6) = B
150.60 * 6/5 = B
903.60/5 = B
180.72 = B

180.72 - 150.60 = 30.12....u save 30.12 when buying from store A

If cos(x) = 0.5, then what is x?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

=60 the second option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the trigonometric ratio, we can find the value of the angle by simply finding the inverse of the given ratio.

If for example Cos ∅= a, then ∅=Cos⁻¹a

If Cos (x)= 0.5, then x= Cos⁻¹ 0.5

Cos⁻1 0.5=60°

The angle whose sine is 0.5 is ∅=60°

Find the length and width of a rectangle.<br> Perimeter = 50<br> Side A = 3x + 2<br> Side B = x - 5
zmey [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2 * (Side A + Side B)

= 2 * (3x + 2 + x - 5)

= 2 * (4x - 3)

= 8x - 6.

We have 8x - 6 = 50, so 8x = 56 and x = 7.

Length of rectangle = 3(7) + 2 = 23.

Width of rectangle = (7) - 5 = 2.
