We know there are 8 equal slices. There are 4 parts to the pie.
8 ÷ 4 = 2
We now know each part of the pie has 2 slices
Ruben ate 3/4 of the slices so,
2 x 3 = 6
6 is your numerator (top) (standing for how much Ruben ate)
8 is your denominator (bottom) (standing for total slices)
6 slices was eaten by Ruben
If you want to check your work, divide the numerator and denominator by 2 - since there are 2 equal slices per part
6 ÷ 2 = 3
8 ÷ 2 = 4
3/4 of the pie has been eaten.

You can just set 3/4=X/8, when you multiply the 4 through you get 3=4x/8 which can be simplified to 3=x/2, multiply the 2 over and you have 6=x.

Hope this helps :)

Define the set X = {(x,y)|x > 0,y ≤ √x}.

The set X is convex.

In geometry, a subset of an affine space over the real numbers, or more broadly a subset of a Euclidean space, is said to be convex if it contains the entire line segment connecting any two points in the subset. A solid cube is an example of a convex set, whereas anything hollow or with an indent, such as a crescent shape, is not. Alternatively, a convex region is a subset that crosses every line into a single line segment.

b)The set X is convex as any two points on the set X is included in the whole set as x>0. So a line joining any two points on the set X is completely inside the set x.

c)set X is not a closed set as the compliment of the set is not an open set.

d)Set X is not bounded. If a set S contains both upper and lower bounds, it is said to be bounded. A set of real numbers is therefore said to be bounded if it fits inside a defined range. hence set x is not bounded.
