Answer:
About 2 of their next 5 deserts sold would be brownies.
Let's represent this by fractions. If 8 out of the 20 desserts they sold were brownies, that would make the fraction 8/20 represent how many brownies were sold.
Now if you reduce this fraction, you get 2/5, which tells about how many brownies will be sold in the next 5 brownies judging by the other data.
Answer:
Gerri spends 1/7 (A).
Step-by-step explanation:
If Gerri spends 1/21 of her money on pencils and 2/21 of her money on paper, adding these two fractions together will give us the total fraction of her money that she spent. Since 1/21 and 2/21 have the same denominator, we can add the numerators to get 3/21. However, fractions must always be in simplest form, meaning if the numerator (top number) and denominator (bottom number) can both be divided evenly by the same factor, then the fraction can be simplied to lower numbers. In this case the number 3 and the number 21 can both be divided evenly by 3: (3÷3)/21÷3) = 1/7.
Answer:
DE = 6 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let DE = x cm.
Since DE is parallel to AB therefore by the alternate interior angles theorem, m∠BAD = m∠ADE and m∠ABE = m∠DEB ............(1)
As AD is an angle bisector of ∠A, therefore m∠EAD = m∠DAB ; Since BE is an angle bisector of ∠B ⇒ m∠ABE = m∠EBD.
Therefore, from (1) We get , m∠EAD = m∠ADE and m∠EBD = m∠BED.
So, the triangles ADE and EDB are then isosceles with AE = ED and ED = DB.
So AE = DE = DB = x, and since the perimeter of ABDE is 30 cm, then
12 + x + x + x = 30
⇒ 12 + 3x = 30
⇒ x = 6
Hence, the length of DE is 6 cm.
