Area of a trapezoid = a+b+c x h
10 + 5 +12 = 27 x h
27h = 27 x 1.5 = 40.5
Answer:
of the whole pie
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem calls for a <em>multiplication of fractions.</em> In order to know how much pie Reuben got, we have to multiply
by the pie Gabriella has, which is
.
So:
x
= 
Let's reduce the answer to its lowest term by dividing both the<em> numerator</em> and the <em>denominato</em>r by 12.
Numerator: 12÷12 = 1
Denominator: 24÷12 = 2
So, this makes Reuben's share being
of the whole pie.
