Answer:
3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
36/48
Divide the top and bottom by 12
36/12 = 3
48/12 =4
36/48 = 3/4
Each person would get 1/6 of the half pound.
1/2 divided by 3= 1/6
This is actually a trick question if you were to take this question head on. Say for instance you are cutting all the pieces from the same sheet of metal, the equation would NOT be 8 times 5 equals 40 minutes, but rather 7 times 5 equals 35 minutes. this is because on the 7th cut, it takes that from 6 sheets of metal to 8 because you get 2 from that cut. Take for instence, a Hersheys candy bar. It is 3 bars thick, but it only takes 2 breaks to sever the 3 strips. So, that being said, sam will make 7 cuts and those 7 cuts will make a times of 35 minutes.
Answer:
a^2 + b^2 + 2ab - (3xy)^1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we want to make a subtraction
Cube root of the product of x and 3y
x * 3y = 3xy
Cube root of this;
(3xy)^1/3
The sum of a and b is (a + b)
Square of this sum;
(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2
Now, subtract the cube root
we have;
a^2 + b^2 + 2ab - (3xy)^1/3
