The three slices are each approximately 1/9 pound in weight, and, since 2/9 is less than 1/4, he can eat 2 whole slices and be okay. If he wants to eat partial slices, then he could eat 2 1/4 slices, as each slice weighs 4/36 pounds, so 2 slices would equal 8/36 pounds, leaving 1/36 pound left over in his diet, which is a quarter of the third slice.

AlladinOne [14]

Answer: independent variables cause the effect measured in the dependent variables

Step-by-step explanation: In a causal - comparative study, the dependent variables refers to the variable whose changes is being measured or observed. The changes or alteration of the dependent variable is induced by the different values of the independent variable. In causal - comparative study, the different independent variables is assumed to have a direct impact on the output or values of the dependent variable which is measured by the experimenter. Therefore, the independent variable does not change, but causes the observed changes noticed in the dependent variable.

rjkz [21]

Answer: 11 is the required number that always divides such differences for the following types of numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Take any 3 - digit number, say, 325

On reversing its digit it becomes, 523

On subtracting the smaller of the two numbers from the larger,523-325\\\\=198

we can see that 198 is an even number.

take another number say, 629

On reversing its digit, it becomes = 926

On subtracting , we get that

926-629=297

But 297 is not an even number.

But there is one common in both the cases is that both the differences are divisible by 11.

Hence, 11 is the required number that always divides such differences for the following types of numbers.
