Answer: 10 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

So, 5/8 divided by 1/16 is 10.

Therefore Jackson can cut 10 pieces.

Answer:

<h2>6 is the answer</h2><h2 />

A fraction consists of two parts the top number and the bottom one.

Think of the top number as the count and the bottom as the size indicator. So you have:

countsize indicator −−−−−−−−−−→proper names numeratordenominator

'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Consider the action example of dividing 3 into 6.

We can do this division directly because their size indicators are the same. That is, we have: 61÷31. People do not normally write it this way but it is correct.

To directly divide the counts the size indicator must be the same

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So we need to see how many of 18 will fit into 34

We can not do this directly in one operation as the size indicators are not the same.

Lets make the size indicators (denominators) the same

Multiply by 1 and you do not change the value but

1 comes in many forms.

[34×1]÷18 → [34×22]÷18

[3×24×2]÷18 → 68÷18

Now that the size indicators (denominators) are the same we can just divide the counts (numerators)

countsize indicator→[68÷18]=6÷1=6

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I could explain more showing the connection between this and the shortcut method but what I have shown you will do for now.

Suppose that an Individual has a body fat percentage of 18.8% and weighs 127 pounds. How many pounds of her weight is made up of
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

14.8 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the actual value made of fat from the body weight

What we have to do here is to multiply the percentage by the body weight

Mathematically, we have this as;

18.8% of 127 pounds

= 18.8/100 * 127 = 14.80 pounds

"Which diagram below shows the first step in parallel line construction on a point outside a line?
mote1985 [20]

<u>Answer</u>

2nd diagram


<u>Explanation.</u>

When contraction a parallel line from a point say N, outside the line, the first thing is to draw a line from point N to the that line.

The point where this line from N intersect with line, name it say P. From this point you can use the properties of angles in a parallel lines to construct the parallel line.

The line NP can act like a transverse of the two parallel lines. The diagram 2 shows first step.

Find the 25th of sequence 3,5,7,9,11
zubka84 [21]

Answer: The 25th term of the sequence is 75

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence depicts an arithmetic progression. The consecutive terms differ by a common difference. We will apply the formula for arithmetic progression.

Tn = a + (n-1)d

Tn = The value of the nth term of the arithmetic sequence.

a = first term of the sequence.

d = common difference (difference between a term and the consecutive term behind it)

n = number of terms in the sequence.

From the information given,

a = 3

d = 5-3 = 7-5 = 2

We want to look for the 25th term, T25

So n = 25

T25 = 3 + (25-1)2 = 3+ 24×2

T25 = 3 + 72 = 75
