Answer:

26 servings

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of servings of vanilla ice cream be x.

Number of servings of chocolate ice cream

= x -12

(since it has 12 servings less than vanilla)

Total servings= servings of chocolate+ vanilla

x + x-12= 40

2x -12 =40 <em>(</em><em>simplify</em><em>)</em>

2x= 40 +12 <em>(</em><em>+</em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em>)</em>

2x= 52 <em>(</em><em>simplify</em><em>)</em>

x= 52 ÷2

x= 26

Therefore, there are 26 servings of vanilla ice cream in the freezer.

larisa [96]

Answer:

a+b = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 36 possible outcomes for rolling two dice. Let A be the number rolled by Abed and D be the number rolled by Dawn. The sample space, in the format [A,D], of all of the possibilities in which Dawn's number is larger is:

[5,6]

[4,5] [4,6]

[3.4] [3,5] [3.6]

[2,3] [2.4] [2,5] [2.6]

[1,2] [1,3] [1.4] [1,5] [1.6]

There are 15 ways out of 36 possible ways of Dawn getting the higher number. In the simplest form:

\frac{15}{36}=\frac{5}{12}=\frac{a}{b}\\ a+b = 5+12 = 17

Answer:

∠MPQ ≅ ∠MPR: Reason; Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent (CPCTC)

∠PQR ≅∠PRQ: Reason; CPCTC

Step-by-step explanation:

\overline{PQ}\cong \overline{PR}: Reason; Given

Draw \overline{PM} so that M is the midpoint of \overline{QR}: Reason; Two points determine a line

\overline{QM}\cong \overline{RM}: Reason; Definition of midpoint

\overline{PM}\cong \overline{PM}: Reason; Reflexive property

ΔPQM ≅ ΔPRM: Reason; Side Side Side (SSS) rule for triangle congruency

∠MPQ ≅ ∠MPR: Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent CPCTC

∠PQR ≅∠PRQ: CPCTC
