157.86/15=10.52
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
10 guests
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
Desmond bought 7 1/2 pints of ice cream
each guest gets a 3/4 pint
Required
The number of guests that Desmond can serve
Step two:
let us convert 7 1/2 to a simple fraction
= 15/2
The number of guests to be served is
=15/2/3/4
multiply the numerator by the inverse of the denominator
=15/2*4/3
=60/6
=10 guests
Answer:
just multiply 7 by 21 and 21 by 7
like
2*21/7*21. + 10*7/21*7
41/147+ 70/147
111/147. Ans
Ok....we need lowest common multiple of 0.40, 0.50, 0.80...and that is gonna be : 4.00......so the customer spends $ 4.00
Answers:
x = 5/2 = 2.5
y = 10
============================================
Explanation:
Focus on the smallest triangle and the medium sized triangle. We can form the proportion 2/4 = x/5 by dividing the corresponding sides together.
Solving for x leads us to the following
2/4 = x/5
2*5 = 4*x
10 = 4x
4x = 10
x = 10/4
x = 5/2
x = 2.5
-----------------
Now focus on the medium sized triangle and the largest triangle. We'll use the same idea as before
4/8 = 5/y
4y = 8*5
4y = 40
y = 40/4
y = 10
Note how each horizontal line is a midsegment, which means that jumping from y = 10 to 5 is us taking half of that value. Then going from 5 to x = 5/2 = 2.5 is another step of cutting in half.
