Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
P(A or B)= P(B)-P(A and B)
P(A)=1/3
P(A and B)=1/8
P(A or B)= 3/4
Required
Find P(B)
To find P(B), all we need to do is to substitute values of P(A or B) and P(A and B) in the given equation.
This goes thus;
P(A or B) = P(B) - P(A and B) becomes

Make P(B) the subject of formula

Take L.C.M

Add fractions

From the workings above, the value of P(B) using the given equation is 
One ate 1/3, Another ate = 1/4.
Total ate = 1/3 + 1/4 = (4 + 3) / 12 = 7/12
Fraction the third girl got = (The whole =1) minus 7/12
= 1 - 7/12 = (12 - 7) / 12 = 5/12
The third girl ate 5/12 of the pizza.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You are to assume in both problems that the two triangles are similar. That is a very dangerous assumption -- especially in later math classes. But in this case, there is no other way to do the problem. The two sets of triangles look like they are proportional. So set up two ratios that are = to each other
On the left
long side small triange / long side large triangle = base small triangle / base large triangle
On the right
hypotenuse/longest leg = hypotenuse / longest leg.
Problem A
Set up the similar Proportion
5/40 = x/20 Cross Multiply
40x = 20*5
40x = 100 Divide by 40
x = 100/40
x = 2.5
Problem B
Again set up the similar triangle proportion
15/10 = x/2 Multiply by 2
15*2/10 = x
3 = x
Answer:
32
Step-by-step explanation:
40 = 100%
how many are 80% ?
well, 80% = 80× 1%
1% = 100% / 100
so, in our case
80% = 80×40/100 = 8×4 = 32
as a shortcut you consider a percentage x as a ratio factor of x/100 you multiply the 100% number with.
in our case
80% = 40 × 80/100 = 32
