Answer: 5/12 of the whole pizza

So we start we the whole pizza = 1
Then he ate 3/8:
1 - 3/8
And then 2/3 of what was left:
2/3(1 - 3/8)
2/3 - 1/4
8/12 - 3/12
5/12

Sergio [31]

The question is asking for how many minutes it walks. Since it walks 5 meter per minute and walks 62.5 meters, you have to divide 62.5 by 5 to get how many minutes the tortoise walks. 62.5 divide by 5 is 12.5. in minutes, 0.5 is 30 seconds, therefore the tortoise walked for 12 minutes and 30 seconds or 12 1/2 minutes.

△HFM∼△PST

loris [4]

Answer:

The perimeter of △HFM is 50.75 units

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The correct picture of the question in the attached figure</em></u>

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional, and this ratio is called the scale factor

we have

△HFM∼△PST ----> given problem

step 1

Find the scale factor

Let

z ----> the scale factor

$z=\frac{HF}{PS}$

substitute the given values

$z=\frac{14}{8}=1.75$

step 2

Find the perimeter of triangle PST

Remember that the perimeter of a triangle is the sum of its three length sides

$P=8+9+12=29\ units$

step 3

Find the perimeter of triangle HFM

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor

so

The perimeter of triangle HFM is equal to the perimeter of triangle PST multiplied by the scale factor

so

$29(1.75)=50.75\ units$
