Answer:
76 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm assuming you meant:
5lb+7oz-11oz=
16 ounces in a pound
5lb+7oz-11oz=
80+7-11=
87-11=
76 ounces
F(n) = 75*1/5n
This is because the base value would be 75 and it is divided by 5 each part of the sequence.
2 cakes - Theresa's and Joe's
Theresa's cake had 6 pieces after she cut it. (2 times the size of Joe's pieces)
Joe's cake had 12 pieces after he cut it. (1/2 the size of Theresa's pieces)
We know that 8/12ths of ONE cake were eaten and that Joe ate 2 of his pieces.
We want to know how many pieces Theresa ate of her cake. Keeping in mind that her pieces are equal to 2 of Joe's pieces we can solve this question.
8/12 eaten total
if 2/12 by Joe
then 8-2 = 6, 6/12 by Theresa
(BUT: Theresa's pieces were twice the size of Joe's so we will divide by 2)
6/12 = 3/6
Answer: Theresa ate 3 pieces of her cake
