Answer:
12 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
Since on Thursday Glenn and Ben each ate an eight, then total they ate 2*1/8=2/8=¼
¼ of 24 pieces is equivalent to
¼*24=6 pieces
The number of pieces that remain would be 24-6=18 pieces
The one third of leftover ate rhe next day will be equivalent to
⅓ of 18
⅓*18=6 pieces
Remaining pieces next day will be 18-6=12 pieces
Therefore, only 12 pieces out of 24 original pieces remain the following day.
Answer:
Sally is wrong because in fractions, the greater the denominator, the smaller the fraction.
Not to mention if you look at it like 1/4 vs. 1/3, 1/3 is bigger because it is a third, while 1/4 is a quarter. So 3 quarters (3/4) is not even close to being bigger than 2 thirds (2/3).
Hope this explanation helps :)
Answer:
27 children.
Step-by-step explanation:
For every 9 children there are 4 adults .
x + y = 39 where x = number of children and y = number of adults.
and x/y = 9/4
so 4x = 9y
then x = 9y/4 , so substituting for x in the first equation:-
y + 9y/4 = 39 Multiplying through by 4:-
4y + 9y = 156
y = 156/13 = 12 so there are 12 adults
and 39 - 12 = 27 children
