So at the beginning, the friends eat 3 meat pies in total. So that leaves two meat pies left.
So basically, we divide the meat pies by the number of friends.
2/6 is 1/3
So each friend needs to eat 1/3 of a meat pie
The recipe calls for 5/8 cups butter and Angie wants to triple the recipe.
Therefore, if Angie is tripling the recipe, she is multiplying all of the ingredients in the recipe by 3.
So for the butter, this would be:
5/8 * 3 = 15/8
Next, we should turn this improper fraction into a mixed number so that we can compare it to the amount of butter that Angie has.
15/8 = 1 7/8
1 7/8 > 1 1/4
Thus, Angie DOES NOT have enough butter to triple the recipe.
Answer:
$12
Step-by-step explanation:
assuming that the cost of delivery is constant irrespective of the number ordered
Let the cost of sandwich be x
First office
$33=4x+c where c is the cost of delivery
Second office
$61=8x+c
These two are simultaneous equation. Subtracting the equation of first office from the second office we obtain
4x=28
Therefore, x=28/4=7
The cost of delivery is 33-(4*7)=33-28=5
Therefore, one sandwich plus delivery costs 7+5=$12
A. 1/5 fish
We know that 2/5 of Mike's fish are clownfish. Therefore, 3/5 are not clownish as 5/5 – 2/5 = 3/5. Also, if you look at the model, there are five pieces. If we assume that model represents the whole of Mike's fish and you take away two pieces, you are left with 3/5. So we know that the remaining fish is 3/5
Next, we know that of these 3/5 fish, 1/3 is damselfish, so we need to find 1/3 of 3/5. To do this, we must multiply 1/3 by 3/5 as "of" means multiply in Math.
So: 1/3 • 3/5 = 1 • 3/3 • 5 = 3/15 3 ÷ 3 = 1 and 15 ÷ 3 = 5 3/15 = 1/5
1/5 of Mike's fish are damsel fish
B. 2/5 fish
Now we know that 1/5 of Mike's fish is damselfish, and 2/5 is clownfish. To find the fraction of his fish that are neither, therefore, we must subtract their sum from the whole.
First, we add 1/5 and 2/5 together. Adding the numerators, 1 and 2, we get 1/5 + 2/5 = 3/5
Next, we subtract: 5/5 – 3/5 = 2/5, so 2/5 of his fish are neither clownfish or damselfish
And if you look at the model again, you can see that if you cross out 1 piece for the damselfish, and 2 pieces for the clownfish, you are left with 2/5
