- you will need 2 busses to only transport the boys.
- Mark is at (1 + 5/6) miles of his house.
<h3>How many buses would it take to carry only the boys?</h3>
We know that there are (3 + 1/2) groups, such that each group fill one bus.
2/5 of the students are boys, then the number of groups that we can make only with boys is:
(2/5)*(3 + 1/2) = 6/5 + 1/5 = 7/5 = 5/5 + 2/5 = 1 + 2/5
Then you can make one and a little less than a half of a group, which means that you need 1 and 2/5 of a buss to transport the boys, rounding that to the a whole number, you will need 2 busses to only transport the boys.
<h3>How far is Mark from his house?</h3>
The original distance is:
D = (2 + 3/4) miles.
But Mark only covers 2/3 of that distance, then we have:
d = (2/3)*D = (2/3)*(2 + 3/4) miles = (4/3 + 2/4) miles
d = (4/3 + 1/2) miles = (8/6 + 3/6) miles = (1 + 5/6) miles
Mark is at (1 + 5/6) miles of his house.

Answer: What you would have left is 12 pieces of pie
Step-by-step explanation: As stated in the question, one pie has been sliced into 8 pieces, and there are three pies in all. That means we had at the beginning 3 x 8 slices of pie which equals 24 pieces.
Also if each pie had been sliced into 8 pieces then each can be represented as 8/8. Therefore eating one slice would leave you with 7/8 (that is 8/8 minus 1/8).
So, each of the three pies now have the following left overs;
1/2, 3/8 and 5/8.
Adding them all together would give,
1/2 + 3/8 + 5/8
Using 8 as the common denominator
4/8 + 3/8 + 5/8
(4 + 3 + 5)/8
12/8.
Therefore, there would be 12 pieces left altogether, which can also be expressed as one pie and 4 pieces.
