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 square of the sum of two consecutive positive even integers is greater than the sum of their squares by 48. Find the two int
koban [17]

Answer:

  • 4 and 6 or -6 and -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers are 2x and 2x + 2.

<u>We have:</u>

  • (2x + 2x + 2)² = (2x)² + (2x + 2)² + 48
  • 4(2x + 1)² = 4x² + 4(x + 1)² + 48
  • (2x + 1)² = x² + (x + 1)² + 12
  • 4x² + 4x + 1 = x² + x² + 2x + 1 + 12
  • 2x² + 2x - 12 = 0
  • x² + x - 6 = 0
  • (x - 2)(x + 3) = 0
  • x = 2, x = -3

<u>The numbers are:</u>

  • 4 and 6 or - 6 and - 4

Explain tge distace formula. then use it to calculate the distance between A(1,1) and B(7,-7).
Juliette [100K]
The distance formula is based on the Pythagorean Theorem:

Distance = Square Root [(X2 - X1)^2<span> + (Y2 - Y1)^</span>2<span>]
</span>Distance = Square Root [(7 -1)^2 + (-7 -1)^2]
Distance = Square Root [ 6^2 + -8^2]Distance = Square Root [ 36 + 64 ]Distance = Square Root [100 ]Distance = 10
