Each of them would get 1 half of an orange. If you cut three oranges in half you will get 6 slices and there are 6 children.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

Jade and her friends got a half orange each.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jade and five friends had 3 oranges, and they shared the oranges equally. So, in order to determine how much of an orange did Jade and her friends get, we have to do the following calculation:

There are 6 people (Jade and her 5 friends), but there are 3 oranges. So, each one of them is getting 3/6 of an orange, dividing it equally. Therefore, as 3 / 6 = 0.5, each one of them got a half orange.

In triangle ABC, the length of side AB is 19 inches and the length of side BC is 28 inches. Which of the following could be the

DENIUS [597]

<h3>Answer: C) 42 inches</h3>

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

Explanation:

Let's say we have a triangle with sides x,y,z

Also, let's further say we know that x = 19 and y = 28 (from AB and BC respectively).

The third missing side z can't be nailed down to a single number, but we can establish a possible range. That range is

y-x < z < y+x

28-19 < z < 28+19

9 < z < 47

So any number between 9 and 47, excluding both endpoints, will work as a possible side length for the third missing side.

Something like 7 inches is too small, so we rule out choice B. Choice D is ruled out since 49 inches is too big. Same goes for choice A also.

The only thing left is choice C. The 42 is between 9 and 47

In other words, 9 < 42 < 47 is true.

So that's why the third missing side could be 42 inches.

Side note: I'm using a modification of the triangle inequality theorem.

What is the midpoint of (-5,6) (8,-6)

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The answer is

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula

$M = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \: \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )$

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(-5,6) (8,-6)

The midpoint is

$M = ( \frac{ - 5 + 8}{2} \: , \: \frac{6 - 6}{2} ) \\ = ( \frac{3}{2} \: , \: \frac{0}{2} )$

We have the final answer as

$( \frac{3}{2} \: , \: 0)$

A car travels 21 km in 16 minutes. What is its average speed in km/h?

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

78.6km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>Speed=distance÷time</u></em>

<u>distance</u>=21km

<u>time</u>=16 minutes<u>(convert into hour by dividing it</u> <u>with 60)</u>

=16÷60=0.267

Speed=21÷0.267=78.65km/h

$speed = \frac{distance }{time}$

$speed = \frac{21}{0.267} = 78.6km(h$

How do you solve this 2 step equation: 8+b/-4=5

Delicious77 [7]

I'm going to rewrite the equation assuming this is the correct form:
$8 - \frac{b}{4} = 5
\newline
-8 + 8 - \frac{b}{4} = 5 - 8
\newline
(-4)\cdot -\frac{b}{4} = -3 \cdot (-4)
\newline
b = -12$
