Mrs. Avery's class ate 1/5 of their green pepper pizza and 9/12 of their pepperoni pizza. Which pizza did they eat more of?

So what you have to do is make the denominators equal. You do that by finding out what number they can both go into which is 60. 12 can go into 60 5 times and so you have to do 9/12 times 5 which is 40/60. then 5 goes into 60 12 times so you have to do 1/5 times 5 which is 12/60. Then you see that 40/60 >12/60 therefore the class ate more of the pepperoni pizza

Hey there!

You have to find a common denominator. The common denominator is 60. To get 1/5 to a denominator of 60, multiply the top and bottom by 12. You get 12/60. To get 9/12 to a denominator of 60, multiply the top and bottom by 5. You get 45/60. 45/60 is more than 12/60, so the pizza that was 9/12 eaten was more. They ate more of the pepperoni pizza.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

The Multiplication equation to find the number of hours taken to travel the distance is $5.5\times x=82.5$ .

It will taken 15 hours by Russian ice breaker to travel a distance of 82.5 km through the ice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Thickness of the ice = 2.3 m

Speed while moving forward = 5.5 km/h

Distance to travel through the ice = 82.5 km

We need to write and solve the multiplication equation to find the number of hours taken to travel the distance.

Solution:

Let the number of hours taken to travel the distance be 'x'.

Now We know that;

By Distance formula;

Distance traveled is equal to Speed while moving forward multiplied by the number of hours taken to travel the distance.

framing in equation form we get;

$5.5\times x=82.5$

Hence The Multiplication equation to find the number of hours taken to travel the distance is $5.5\times x=82.5$

On Solving above equation we get;

Dividing both side by 5.5 we get;

$\frac{5.5x}{5.5}=\frac{82.5}{5.5}\\\\x=15 \ hrs$

Hence It will taken 15 hours by Russian ice breaker to travel a distance of 82.5 km through the ice.

If two lines are parallel which statement must be true? A.Their slopes are zero. B.Their slopes are negative reciprocals. C. The

stepan [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same gradient.

A line with a slope of zero is a horizontal line. Although two lines that have a slope of zero will result in two parallel lines, not all parallel lines are horizontal lines. Since the question is asking for which statement must be true, option A is incorrect.

If the slopes of two lines are negative reciprocals, they are perpendicular to each other. This is because the product of the gradients of 2 perpendicular lines is -1. Let the gradient of the first line be A and the other be B.

AB= -1

$A = - \frac{ 1}{B}$

$B = - \frac{1}{A}$

Thus, option B is incorrect too.

Undefined slopes gives vertical lines. Like option A, if two lines have an undefined slope, they will be parallel to each other. However since parallel lines are nit necessarily vertical lines, option C is also incorrect.
