Each person will eat 2/3 of a pound of Turkey and 8 people will be at party
2 answers:
I think what you are asking is, how many turkeys will you need... You will have to multiply 2/3 by 8. When writing this, you can write- 2/3 * 8/1. Any number over the denominator of 1, is the same thing as saying there are ___ of those ones. Work shown below....! The answer would be 5 1/3. So technically, you need 6 turkeys, and 2/3 of a turkey would be leftover.

that simply means that each triangle has a side that is half of 10√2 and another side that's half of 6√2.
