Answer:

5/12  of cookies left on the plate

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to add to know what part of the dish ate and then subtract it from the total

1/12 + 4/12 + 2/12 =

when we are adding fractions with the same denominator we simply add the above

1 + 4 + 2 = 7

1/12 + 4/12 + 2/12 = 7/12

now to the total of the plate that would be 1 we subtract what they ate

1 - 7/12 =

the whole 1 can be expressed as 12/12 since if we do the 12/12 = 1 account

12/12 - 7/12

for the subtraction with the same denominator the same thing happens as for the sum, we only do it with the top

12 - 7 = 5

12/12 - 7/12 = 5/12

Answer: the fraction of cookies left on the plate was 5/12.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial amount of cookies on the plate is taken as 1.

Daniel ate 1/12 of the cookies, Mariel ate 4/12 of the cookies, and Tamika ate 2/12 of the cookies. This means that the total number of cookies that they ate is

1/12 + 4/12 + 2/12 = 7/12

Therefore, the fraction of the cookies was left on the plate would be

1 - 7/12 = (12 - 7)/12 = 5/12

Answer:

8.54 units (3s.f.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between 2 points

=   \sqrt{(y1 - y2)^{2}  +  {(x1 - x2)}^{2} }

Identify the coordinates of the 2 endpoints of the line:

(-5, 5) and (-2, -3)

Using the distance formula above,

length of line segment

=  \sqrt{[5 - ( - 3)]^{2}  + [ - 5 - ( - 2)]^{2} }  \\  =  \sqrt{ {(5 + 3)}^{2}  + ( -5 + 2)^{2} }  \\  =  \sqrt{ {8}^{2} +  {( - 3)}^{2}  } \\  =  \sqrt{73}  \\  = 8.54 \: units \: (3 \: s.f.)
