If 1/2 of 5 is 3, then what is 1/3 of 10?

1 answer:

3 0

A) If 1/2 of 5 is 3 that means 5/2 = 3 or 5 = 2 x 3
b) ...then what is 1/3 of 10; that means 10/3 or (5x2)/3
But we know from a) that 5 = 2x3. Substitute 5 in b)

10/3 = (5x2)/10 = (2x2x3)/3 = 4, So 10/3 = 4

miskamm [114]

Answer:

There are 13 pieces of pie left.

Step-by-step explanation:

So there are 3 pieces of apple pie left, there are 4 pieces of cherry pie left, and there are 6 pieces of pumpkin pie left. 3 + 4 + 6 = 13.

3/8 = 3 pieces because each fraction in this one equals one piece. So the numerator is how many left.

1/2= 4 because you just divide 8 by 2.

3/4 = 2 because you can multiply the fraction by 2 and get 6/8. Then the numerator is how many that's left.
