Answer: 1/12 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the pieces originally were 1/4 yards.

Jamie then cuts them into a 1/3 of their original length.

The new length is therefore:

= Original length * proportion of original length strips are cut into

= 1/4 * 1/3

= 1/12 yards

One fourth of a box of cereal was shared equally among 3 people. How much cereal did each person get?
just olya [345]
Okay so the problem starts you off with the fraction (1/4). Sharing equally among 3 people would mean that you'd want to divide it by three so your equation would initially look like (1/4) / 3. Having two dividing signs is confusing so what you do is change the dividing into multiplying by the reciprocal of 3 = 1/3... This would make your expression (1/4) * (1/3) and when you simplify this you should get 1/12 as the answer.

Prove ABC~EDC ?
erastova [34]

Answer:

AA similarity theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

<u>AA (Angle-Angle) Similarity</u> states that  In two triangles, if two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent, then the triangles are similar

In this problem we have that

∠BCA=∠ECD ----> by vertical angles

∠BAC=∠DEC ---> because AB is parallel to ED (alternate interior angles)

therefore

Triangles ABC and EDC are similar by AA similarity theorem

Hallie made 12 quarts of homemade yogurt. She put the yogurt in 34-cup containers. How many containers did Hallie fill?
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

1 container and 14 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 1 quart = 4 cups

therefore, 12 quart = 48 cups

each container has 34 cups

so one container would be full and remaining 48-34 =14 cups can be filled in another container.
