Answer:  The number of pieces is 38.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Marge has 14\dfrac{2}{5} feet of chain that she wants to cut into \dfrac{3}{8} foot long pieces.

We are to find the number of pieces that she will have after cutting.

Let, 'n' be the number of pieces that she can make.

Therefore, we must have

\dfrac{3}{8}\times n=14\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{8}n=\dfrac{72}{5}\\\\\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{72\times 8}{3\times5}\\\\\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{576}{15}\\\\\\\Rightarrow n=38.4.

Thus, she can make 38 pieces from the chain.

Who invent natural numbers???​
makkiz [27]

Answer:

  nobody

Step-by-step explanation:

Humans have made use of natural numbers as long as humans have been around. Counting numbers are wired into our consciousness, as they are for many living things.

Research has demonstrated some plants can count up to 5 (generally, carnivorous ones). Honeybees have long been known to be able to count to 4, and recent research shows they can count higher. Fish can count; birds can count; as can many other species.

For most, it takes concentration and/or training to count beyond 4. We are born with an understanding of 1, 2, 3, more.

Nobody "invented" natural numbers.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Prey species survive by being able to count predators. Some predators take advantage of the limitations of number recognition by hunting in groups larger than can be readily counted.

devlian [24]

Answer:

P = 128 Post

Step-by-step explanation:

Total post needed = 216 posts

Number of post Jerry has = 88 posts

Number of posts jerry still needs = P

Total = Number of post Jerry has + Number of posts jerry still needs

216 = 88 + P

216 - 88 = P

128 = P

P = 128 Post
