Answer:
<em>Every people at dinner received one-tenth of the original turkey= 0.1</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Proportions</u>
If some fraction a/b of a whole total M is to be computed and later removed, we proceed as follows
* Compute the portion to be removed as a/b*M
* Subtract it from the total quantity: M-a/b*M=M(1-a/b)
I'm assuming 1/5 of the turkey was lost due to overcooking. It means that (1-1/5) of the turkey remained for dinner, that is, 4/5 of the turkey.
Each people at dinner received the same amount of the remaining, so we must divide 4/5 by 8, to get 4/40, or 1/10. It means that every people at dinner received one-tenth of the original turkey
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
It says Renita takes minutes to ride half a mile.
She leaves 30 minutes before school.
Total distance is
In
Therefore total time to reach school will be 5 x 5 = 25minutes.
Since she leaves 30minutes before school. She will reach 5minutes early before school.

Answer:
Jada should have multiplied both sides of the equation by 108.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete. Find the complete question in the comment section.
Given the equation -4/9 = x/108, in order to determine Jada's error, we need to solve in our own way as shown:
Step 1: Multiply both sides of the equation by -9/4 as shown:
-4/9 × -9/4 = x/108 × -9/4
-36/-36 = -9x/432
1 = -9x/432
1 = -x/48
Cross multiplying
48 = -x
x = -48
It can also be solved like this:
Given -4/9 = x/108
Multiply both sides by 108 to have:
-4/9 * 108 = x/108 * 108
-4/9 * 108 = 108x/108
-432/9 = x
x = -48
Jada should have simply follow the second calculation by multiplying both sides of the equation by 108 as shown.
