Write a real word problem that involves dividing a decimal by a whole number

There is 75% of a pizza and there are 3 siblings who want to eat it for lunch. They divide what they have of the pizza evenly among themselves. In terms of a whole pizza, what percent did each sibling get.

This question would mean dividing 75% or .75 by 3 which would mean each person got 25% or .25 of what would be a whole pizza.
So while each person would get .33 of the current sized pizza (.75) in terms of a whole pizza it would be .25

I hope this makes sense! Sorry if I over explained it.

In the figure LMV is similar to UTK. what's the value of x the length of side LM?​
Kipish [7]

To solve this problem, all we need to do is just set up a proportion. The two shapes are similar, which means that they are the same shape, but different sizes. Using the wording/letter arrangement in the problem, we can figure out which side of one triangle corresponds to which side of the other triangle.

Triangle LMV (with segments LM, MV, and VL) is similar to triangle UTK (with segments UT, TK, and KU).

Corresponding pairs:

LM(x) : UT(39)

MV(30) : TK(65)

VL : KU

However, we need only be interested in the first two pairs. Here is the proportion with letters:

LM / UT = MV / TK

and as numbers:

x / 39 = 30 / 65

Solve for x:

x / 39 = 30 / 65

Cross multiply:

(x)(65) = (39)(30)

Simplify:

65x = 1170

Divide:

65x/65 = 1170 / 65

Simplify:

x = 18

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The length of side LM (x) in triangle LMV is 18 units.

If f(x)=2x+5, then what is f(3)?
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

\Large \boxed{f(3)=11}

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=2x+5

For f(3), the input for the function f(x) is 3.

Let x (input) = 3.

f(3)=2(3)+5 \\\\ f(3)=6+5 \\\\ f(3)=11
