2 cakes - Theresa's and Joe's
Theresa's cake had 6 pieces after she cut it. (2 times the size of Joe's pieces)
Joe's cake had 12 pieces after he cut it. (1/2 the size of Theresa's pieces)
We know that 8/12ths of ONE cake were eaten and that Joe ate 2 of his pieces.
We want to know how many pieces Theresa ate of her cake. Keeping in mind that her pieces are equal to 2 of Joe's pieces we can solve this question.
8/12 eaten total
if 2/12 by Joe
then 8-2 = 6, 6/12 by Theresa
(BUT: Theresa's pieces were twice the size of Joe's so we will divide by 2)
6/12 = 3/6
Answer: Theresa ate 3 pieces of her cake
Answer:
325 mph and 420 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
If the speed of the slower plane is x, then the speed of the faster plane is x + 95.
The distance traveled by the slower plane is 3x.
The distance traveled by the faster plane is 3(x + 95).
The total distance is 2235 miles.
3x + 3(x + 95) = 2235
3x + 3x + 285 = 2235
6x = 1950
x = 325
x + 95 = 420
The speed of the planes is 325 mph and 420 mph.
Answer:
B: The mean study time of students in Class B is less than students in Class A.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out why answer B is the right answer, I will give you facts from each option.
Option A is false. <em>The mean study time in Class A is 4.8. Meanwhile in Class B it is 4. For Class A, sum up the 20 study times which is 96 and divide them by 20, you will get 4.8 hours of mean study time. For Class B, the sum of the 20 study times is 80, which divided by 20 will be 4.
</em>
Option B is True. <em>See previous explanation.
</em>
Option C is False. <em>The median study time in Class B is 4. The median study time in Class A is 4.8,
</em>
Option D is False. <em>The range in Class A is from 2 to 8. The range in Class B is from 2 to 7.
</em>
Option E is False: <em>The mean and median study time of these classes is different.</em>

Answer: C) x = 13</h3>
====================================================
Work Shown:
We have a right triangle with legs a = 5 and b = 12. The hypotenuse is c = x which is unknown for now.
Use the pythagorean theorem to find x.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
5^2 + 12^2 = x^2
25 + 144 = x^2
169 = x^2
x^2 = 169
x = sqrt(169) .... apply the square root to both sides
x = 13
