Answer:

Luis is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We see that,

Tito ate \frac{1}{4} of cheese pizza, \frac{3}{8} of pepperoni pizza and \frac{1}{2} of the mushroom pizza.

So, in total Tito ate = \frac{1}{4} +\frac{3}{8} +\frac{1}{2} = \frac{9}{8} parts of the three pizza's.

Further, Luis ate \frac{5}{8} of cheese pizza and \frac{1}{2} of the mushroom pizza.

So, in total Luis ate = \frac{5}{8} +\frac{1}{2} = \frac{9}{8} parts of the three pizza's.

Therefore, we can that both Tito and Luis ate \frac{9}{8} part of the pizza.

Hence, Luis is correct that they both ate the same amount of the pizza.

Answer:  Tito is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

Total part of pizza = 1 part of cheese pizza + 1 part of mushroom pizza + 1 part of pepperoni pizza = 3 part of a pizza

Part of pizza is eaten by Tito = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{3}{8} + \frac{1}{2}=\frac{13}{8}

Part of pizza is eaten by Luis = \frac{5}{8} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{9}{8}

Since, \frac{13}{8} part of 3 = \frac{39}{8}

And, \frac{9}{8} part of 3 = \frac{27}{8}

But, \frac{39}{8} > \frac{27}{8}

⇒ Tito ate more part of pizza than Luis.

If Tito did not eat pepperoni pizza then his part would be  \frac{3}{4} which is less than that of Luis.

Therefore, Tito ate more pizza than that of Luis because he ate pepperoni pizza.

Thus,  Tito is correct.

The graph of the step function g(x) = –⌊x⌋ + 3 is shown. What is the domain of g(x)? {x| x is a real number} {x| x is an integer
allsm [11]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

The domain of the g(x) is {x | x is a real number}

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of the step function: g(x)=-\left \lfloor x \right \rfloor +3


Floor function is defined as the function that gives the highest integer less than or equal to x.

The graph of function: g(x)=-\left \lfloor x \right \rfloor +3  where x is the independent variable as shown below;

Domain of any function is the complete set of possible values of the independent variable

Therefore, the domain of the function g(x) is the set of all real numbers or we can represent this as  {x | x is a real number}.

WHAT IS THE LENGTH!!!
Murljashka [212]

The figure is a trapezoid (or trapezium), and the exact length of the trapezoid is 5 units

<h3>How to determine the length?</h3>

The figure is a trapezoid with the following parameters:

Area = 107.95

Base= 12

Height = 12.7

Length = x

The area of a trapezoid is:

Area = 0.5 * (Base + Length) * Height

So, we have:

0.5 * (12 + Length) * 12.7 = 107.95

Evaluate the product

(12 + Length) * 6.35 = 107.95

Divide both sides by 6.35

12 + Length = 17

Subtract 12 from both sides

Length =  5

Hence, the length of the trapezoid is 5 units
