There is 12/15 of a pizza left. How many 3/10 pieces can be made from the leftover pizza? Show work please!

1 answer:

5 0

How many 1/3 pieces can be made from 2 pizzas, we know it is 6 and it is arrived by dividing 2 by 1/3 or multiplying by its reciprocal 3/1.

Hence to find how many 3/10 pieces can be made from 12/15 pizza, we have to divide 12/15 by 3/10 or multiplying by its reciprocal 10/3, i.e.

12/15 times 10/3= 8/3 or 2 2/3

What does that mean? This means that while 2 three-tenths pieces can be made, 2/3of 3/10 i.e. 2/3×3/10=2/10=1/5 or one-fifth of pizza will be left out.

So the answer is 2 three-tenths pieces can be made, and one-fifth pizza will be left out.

Answer:

The length of WX is 31 units.(third option)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that In trapezoid WXYZ, WX║ZY and S and T are the mid points of the sides WZ and XY. We have to find the length of WX.

By trapezoid mid-segment Property,

A mid-segment of a trapezoid join the midpoints of the two non-parallel sides of trapezoid. The length of the mid-segment is the average of the lengths of the two bases and is parallel to the bases of the trapezoid.

∴ $ST=\frac{WX+ZY}{2}$
