Answer:

12 p - 8 p,  4p ( 3 - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

p = equal the number of ounces of pasta salad in one container

then 12 × p = 12 p in 12 containers

the students finished the pasta salad in 8 containers which equals = 8 p

the number of ounces of pasta left = 12 p - 8 p  

b) using the distributive property for example a ( b + c) = ( a×b) + (a ×c)

12 p - 8 p = 4p ( 3 - 2)

What is 25.0996 rounded to the nearest thousandth
madreJ [45]

Answer:

25.100

Step-by-step explanation:

The thousandth place is the third digit to the right of the decimal point - tenths is the first, hundredths is the second, thousandths is the third.  Since six rounds up and both nines round up, one must round up all of the way from the fourth decimal place to the tenth decimal place.

Para festeja su cumpleaños,Nancy compró 15 paquetes de pizzetas. Si cocinó 288 pizzetas, cuántos paquetes completos le quedaron?
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Nancy consumió 12 paquetes de pizzetas y le quedaron 3 paquetes completos.

Step-by-step explanation:

En primer lugar, debemos descomponer el número total de pizzas como una multiplicación de números primos. Al realizar la descomposición factorial tenemos que:

288 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3

Entonces, los familia de divisores de 288 es el siguiente conjunto:

D_{288} = \{2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 32, 36, 48, 72, 96, 144 \}

Si tanto la cantidad de paquetes de pizzetas y la cantidad cocinada de pizzetas son números enteros y positivos, siendo la última mucho mayor. Entonces, la cantidad de pizzetas debe ser un número entero y la cantidad de paquetes gastados menor a la cantidad de paquetes comprados y el número entero más cercano a esa cantidad. Entonces, concluimos que Nancy se gastó 12 paquetes de pizzetas, quedándole 3 paquetes completos.
