<h3>Answer: 7/20</h3>

============================================================

Explanation:

One large square cake cuts into 4 smaller slices

Since we have 5 such cakes that are cut like this, we have 5*4 = 20 slices all together.

Count the number of dark shaded slices that are shown in the lower diagram. We have 4+3+4+2 = 7+6 = 13 slices of cake that are left over. This must mean the class ate 20-13 = 7 slices.

The fraction of the cakes eaten is 7/20

Notes:

7/20 = 35/100 = 0.35 = 35%
The fraction 7/20 cannot be reduced further because 7 and 20 have no common factors other than 1.

Consider the given parallelogram KLMN.

Prove: $\angle N \cong \angle L, \angle K \cong \angle M$

Statement Reason

1. $KL \parallel NM, KN \parallel LM$ Definition of parallelogram

2. $\angle K+ \angle N = 180^\circ$ Same Side interior angle theorem

$\angle L+ \angle M = 180^\circ$

$\angle K+ \angle L = 180^\circ$

3. $\angle K+ \angle N=\angle K+ \angle L$ Substitution property

$\angle L+ \angle M=\angle K+ \angle L$

4. $\angle N = \angle L$ Subtraction property of equality

$\angle M = \angle K$

Subtraction property of equality tells us that if we subtract some number from one side of an equation, we also must subtract from the other side of the equation to keep the equation the same.

5. $\angle N \cong \angle L$ Angle Congruence Postulate

$\angle M \cong \angle K$

When two angles are equal, then they are said to be congruent by Angle congruence postulate.

Rewrite the following equation in slope intercept 7x + 11y = 10

viva [34]

We can do this by subtracting 7x from both sides, getting us:
11y= -7x+10.
We can then divide both sides by 11, giving our final answer:
y = -7/11x+10/11.
Hope this helped!

If a card is chosen at random from a pack of 52 playing cards, what is the probability of a Queen or a Club?

bonufazy [111]

The answer is b because you have 4 queens in a deck of cards and 13 clubs in a deck so if you add them you would get 17/52 cards

A triangle has a perimeter of 91 cm. If the three sides of the triangle are n,4n - 2 and 5n - 7 what is the length of each side

sdas [7]

Answer:

10,38,43

Step-by-step explanation:

n+4n-2+5n-7=91

10n=91+2+7

10n=100

n=10

4(10)-2=38

5(10)-7=43
