Hi I'm new to this website so I wanted to comment that I'm having the same complication with that exact same problem
We want to divide 1/2 pound in 8 equal parts
1/2 dividend by 8/1 is the same as
1/2 multiplied by 1/8 =1•1/2•8=1/16
Each package will weigh 1/16 of a pound
Or 1 ounce since 1 pound = 16 oz
Answer:
5 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, Lashonda swam 4 km against the current. So the distance covered in this case is
Calling 
the velocity of Lahonda without the current, and 
the velocity of the current, in this situation Lahonda's velocity is
So we can write:
where 
is the time taken to cover the distance.
When Lashonda swims with the current, her velocity is
So we can write
where
is the distance covered in this case, and 
the time taken.
The velocity of the current is
Since Lashonad takes the same time to cover the two distances,
So we can write
And solving for v, we find Lashonda's velocity without the current:
Answer:
<em>the father has 8 children</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The cake = 1 whole = 12/12 = 3/3
If the father ate 1/3 of the cake, we know that 2/3 of the cake was divided amongst his children
How many 1/12's can fit into 2/3?
- (2/3) / (1/12) --> (2/3) x (12/1) = (24/3) = 8
If 8 1/12-pieces can fit into 2/3 of a cake, <em>the father has 8 children</em>.
