Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to be specific. Did the weight decrease by 60 tons or 60 pounds? I assume tons, but in math, you can't assume.
This problem seems overly simple, so I am wondering if some information is missing. With the given information and assuming the decrease was in fact 60 tons, you would have:
125,890 - 60 = 125,830 tons
Let
x--------------> the number of slices eating by Consuela and her <span>three friends
we know that
[total slices]=8*2=16 slices
</span><span>[slices of pizza for her older brother]=2
x=16-2=14 slides
</span><span>Consuela and her friends share the rest of the pizza, each eating the same number of slices---------> 14/4= 3.5 slides of pizza each (</span><span>this part is not necessary, but it is shown in a didactic way)
</span><span>
the question is
</span><span>What fraction of the 2 pizzas is left over?
</span>[slices of pizza for her older brother]/[total slices]=2/16=1/8
<span>
the answer is (1/8)
