Answer: 1/40 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

1 orange weighs 1/5 pound

since if has been cut into 8 slices, then 1 out of those slices is 1/8

Let x = weigh of 1/8 slices.

We can solve this using proportion

1/5 pounds = 1 orange

x = 1/8 orange

Lets cross multiply

x = 1/5 × 1/8

x = 1/40 pound.

Therefore each slice weigh 1/40 pound

84% 84, percent of astrid's books are fiction. What fraction of astrid's books are fiction?
yuradex [85]

Let number of  books by astrid's = x

Out of x , 84% are fiction.

So, Number of non fictional books = x - \frac{84x}{100}

                                       =  \frac{100x- 84 x}{100} =  \frac{16x}{100}

→Ratio of number of  books to  fictional books

                                     =\frac{x}{\frac{84x}{100}}\\ = \frac{100}{84}\\= \frac{25}{21}⇒[Dividing numerator and denominator by 4.]

→Out of 25 books by astrid 21 are fictional.

→ Number of fictional books by astrid = \frac{21}{25}

The figure shows Polygon ABCD and some of its transformed images on a coordinate grid:
Black_prince [1.1K]

Based on the fact that the Polygon ABCD was translated, then the polygon that is a translation of it will be Polygon 3.

<h3>What polygon is the translation of Polygon ABCD?</h3>

When a shape is translated, it is taken as it is from one area of the coordinate plane, to another area of the plane.

This means that it doesn't change in height, or orientation.

The only polygon that still looks like Polygon ABCD is Polygon 3 which means that it is the translated version.
