Third piece = 6 feet />l=large

(3l+3) +(1/3l)+2 +l =15
multiply everything by 3

3l-3 +l+6+3l = 45
7l = 42
l = 6 (3rd piece) All pieces =6 + 5 +4 = 15

What is -0.8 as a fraction?
stira [4]

Answer:

-\frac{4}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

There is not much that can be done to figure out how to write 0.8 as a fraction, except to literally use what the decimal portion of your number, the .8, means.

Since there are 1 digits in 8, the very last digit is the "10th" decimal place.

So we can just say that .8 is the same as 8/10.

The fraction is not reduced to lowest terms. We can reduce this fraction to lowest  terms by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2.

Why divide by 2? 2 is the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD)  or Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the numbers 8 and 10.

So, this fraction reduced to lowest terms is  4/5

So your final answer is: 0.8 can be written as the fraction 8/10 simplified to 4/5

12 students share 3 pizzas equally what fraction of the pizza each student gets
alekssr [168]
To find the solution, simply take 3 and divide it by 12. 3/12 as a fraction would be simplified down to 1/4 or 0.25. Therefore, each student would receive one quarter of a pizza.
