First, convert 3 into a fraction with denominator 8.

(3 pizzas)(8/8 pizzas)=24/8 pizzas

Then, divide 24/8 pizzas by 2/8 pizzas per 1 person.

(24/8 pizzas)(2/8 pizzas/person)

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal:

(24/8)/(2/8)=(24/8)×(8/2) the 8s cancel and you are left with 24/2=12

3 pizzas will feed 12 people.

12 2/3 ^ 2 1/3what is 12 2/3 divided by 2 1/3 ​
Semmy [17]

Answer:

(12 2/3)/( 2 1/3)= 38/7 or 5 3/7 or 5.43 decimal

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

(12 + 2/3)/(2 + 1/3)

Put 2 + 1/3 over the common denominator 3. 2 + 1/3 = (3×2)/3 + 1/3:

(12 + 2/3)/((3×2)/3 + 1/3)

3×2 = 6:

(12 + 2/3)/(6/3 + 1/3)

6/3 + 1/3 = (6 + 1)/3:

(12 + 2/3)/((6 + 1)/3)

6 + 1 = 7:

(12 + 2/3)/(7/3)

Put 12 + 2/3 over the common denominator 3. 12 + 2/3 = (3×12)/3 + 2/3:

((3×12)/3 + 2/3)/(7/3)

3×12 = 36:

(36/3 + 2/3)/(7/3)

36/3 + 2/3 = (36 + 2)/3:

((36 + 2)/3)/(7/3)

36 + 2 = 38:

(38/3)/(7/3)

Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator, (38/3)/(7/3) = 38/3×3/7:

(38×3)/(3×7)

(38×3)/(3×7) = 3/3×38/7 = 38/7:

Answer:  38/7

Kavi solved the system
Marianna [84]

Answer:

She should have substituted y = 17 - 2x in the first equation

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4y = 33

2x + y = 17

y = 17 - 2x

3x + 4(17 - 2x) = 33

3x + 68 - 8x = 33

5x = 35

x = 7

y = 17 - 2(7)

y = 3

x = 7, y = 3

The population of a bacteria colony is growing exponentially, doubling every 6 hours. If there are 150 bacteria currently presen
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

If rounded to the nearest 10 bacteria, then it would be 500 bacteria.

Step-by-step explanation:

First multiply 150 by two in order to get 300, that leaves 4 hours to figure out. From there you can figure out the rest by seeing that 4 is 2/3 of 6. I converted it into the decimal number .66. Multiply 300 by .66 to get 198 and then add it to 300 to get 498. Then just round it up to the nearest 10 bacteria which leaves you with the final answer of 500 bacteria.
