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.

2. You must convert from words to number. This is:

1,100 feet per second

3. To express this quantity in scientific notation, you can move the decimal point three places to the left, and write it as: 1.1 by 10^{3} (or 1,000) as following:

1,100=(1.1)(10^{3})

Solve x4 - 11x2 + 18 = 0.
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

x=√2, x=-√2, x= 3 and x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the equation x^4 - 11x^2+18=0  

We can replace x^4 = u^2 and x^2 = u

So, the equation will become

u^2 -11u+18 = 0

Factorizing the above equation:

u^2 -9u-2u+18 =0

u(u-9)-2(u-9)=0

(u-2)(u-9)=0

u=2, u=9

As, u = x^2, Putting back the value:

x^2 =2 , x^2 =9  

taking square roots:

√x^2 =√2 ,√x^2=√9  

x=±√2 , x = ±3

so, x=√2, x=-√2, x= 3 and x=-3

ABCD is a quadrilateral such that the measures of three of its interior angles are given as B=122 degrees, C= 75 degrees, D= 51
posledela

Answer:

angle A is 112 degree.

Step-by-step explanation:

quadilateral have 4 angles .

sum of the interior angles of a quadilateral is 360 degree

Here,

angle A = be x

angle B = 122

angle C = 75

angle D = 51

Now,

angle A + angle B + angle C + angle D =360 degree

x + 122 + 75 + 51 = 360

x + 248 = 360

x = 360 - 248

x = 112
