Answer:

24 days

Step-by-step explanation:

We wish to eliminate the unit of measurement "miles," ending up with the number of days on which LeRoy ran.

Recall that distance = rate times time. Here

distance

-------------- = time

rate

Plugging in the appropriate quantities (given in the problem statement),

15 miles 15 3

----------------------- = -------- days = -------- days = 24 days

(5/8) (mi/day) 5/8 1/8

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

There are 6 slices left.

Step-by-step explanation:

The remaining slices are:

Carrot Cake

$x = \left(\frac{8}{8} -\frac{1}{8} -\frac{4}{8} -\frac{1}{8} \right)\cdot 8$

$x = 2$

Chocolate Cake

$y = \left(\frac{8}{8} - \frac{1}{8} - \frac{3}{8} \right)\cdot 8$

$y = 4$

There are 6 slices left.
