Answer: 2/5 pizza

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find how many pizzas he can eat in an hour, and you know that he can eat 1/5 pizza in 1/2 hour (30 mins) so you have to multiply 1/2 by 2 to get a whole hour, and whatever you do to the time, you have to do to the amount of pizza he ate. Since you multiplied the time by 2, you have to multiply the amount of pizza he ate (1/5) by 2. 1/5x2=2/5. Mike can eat 2/5 pizza in an hour. Remember, it’s pizza as in singular. Don’t add an s to make it plural.

I’m trying to explain this at your level so that it doesn’t seem like I’m talking to a 3 year old but it’s also not to complicated :)

how do you determine if the answer to a problem is negative or positive in division multiplication addition and subtraction

erica [24]

In multiplication, a negative times a positive has a negative answer. if both are positive or both are negative, the answer is positive.
5 * -5 = -25
-5* -5 = 25

in divisions say you have
-5/5 = -1
-5/-5= 1
5/-5= -1

in addition and subtraction, subtracting a negative means to add the two numbers. adding a negative means to subtract the second number.

5+ (-5) = 0
5- (-5) = 10

The figure shows a kite inside a rectangle. Which expression represents the area of the shaded region? 2x2 4x2 6x2 8x2

Savatey [412]

The picture in the attached figure

we know that
area of the <span>the shaded region=area of rectangle -area of a kite

area of rectangle=(3x+x)*(x+x)----> 4x*2x---> 8x</span>²

area of a kite=(1/2)*[d1*d2]
where d1 and d2 are the diagonals
d1=4x
d2=2x
so
area of a kite=(1/2)*[4x*2x]----> 4x²

area of the the shaded region=8x²-4x²-----> 4x²

the answer is
4x²
