Answer:

4.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the height of the taller brother be x

And, the height of the shorter brother be y

Now according to the question

x + y = 10.33

x - y = 0.833

Now solve these two equations

2x = 11.666

x = 5.833

y = 10.33 - 5.83

= 4.5 ft

There was one half of a pizza left. It was divided equally amongst 3 kids. What fraction of the pizza did each kid get?
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

one-sixth

multiply the numerator (2) by the number of kids (3) because you are accounting for the fraction of the whole pizza. By doing this you should get 3/6. divide the denominator by the number of kids (3/3) getting you to a value of 1, and replace the denominator, making the amount of pizza one-sixth.
