Answer:

In fraction, Balu ate 1/2 of the whole cake

Step-by-step explanation:

Balu and Pumba shared 2/3 of a cake.

Balu eats three times as much cake as Pumba.

So let's take the 2/3 they shared as a whole.

Let's Balu share be x

And pumbs share be y

X = 3y

But x + 3y = 2/3

Since x = 3y

Y = x/3

x + x/3 = 2/3

4x/3 = 2/3

X = (2*3)/(4*3)

X = 2/4

X = 1/2

Balu ate half of the whole cake

In fraction, Balu ate 1/2 of the whole cake

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

xx(0.65) + xx(0.08)

Step-by-step explanation:

First step is to find the discounted price. Finding 35% less than the original xx is the same as finding 65% of it, so we multiply by 0.65. Once this is completed we need to find 8% more than that. So we add 8% of xx, which is the same as multiplying by 0.08. Hope this helps :)

Write the Slope- Intercept equation of the line that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to the given line (0, -
damaskus [11]

Answer:

y+4=-3(x+0) or y=-3x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

so you have to make it in form y=mx+b

that would be y=1/3x-2/3

for a perpendicular line, you would need to find the opposite reciprocal of the slope

3/1 or 3 would be the reciprocal, so to make it opposite would be -3

So it would be y-y1 = m(x-x2)

fill it in with the coordinates (0,-4)

y+4=-3(x-0)

to get it to slope intercept form you have to simplify, and after that you get y=-3x-4
