Answer: 2/3 or 1/3

Step-by-step explanation: If we have a cake that has a total of 12 pieces, and we gave four to someone else we would have 8/12 pieces left. Now if we simplify then we would have 2/3 left.

Alternate explanation: Now if we just want to divide 4/12 then we would have 1/3.

I'm happy to help let me know if I'm wrong!

$290, 12.5%, 6 months

Veronika [31]

The information shown here only shows a principal sum, a rate of interest and a period or time. There is no question as to what is needed. But suppose the need is for simple interest, then we calculate using the given information and the formula: I = PRT where I is simple interest, P is the principal, R is the rate per year, and T is time P = 290, T is 6 months which is 0.5 years, R = 12.5 % which is written as 0.125 in decimal fraction. I = 290 × 0.125 x 0.5 → I = 18.125 Therefore after 6 months , the interest earned will be 18. 125 dollars

The oblique pyramid has a square base. What is the volume of the pyramid? 2.5 cm3 5 cm3 6 cm3 7.5 cm3

Olenka [21]

Take a look at the attachment below. It fills in for the attachment that wasn't provided in the question -

An oblique pyramid is one that has a top not aligned with the base. Due to this, the height of the pyramid connects with two vertices at its ends to form a right angle present outside the pyramid, knowing that it is always perpendicular to the base. There is no difference between the calculations of the volume of an oblique pyramid and a pyramid however -

$\\Base Area = 2 cm * 2 cm = 4 cm^2,\\Volume ( Pyramid ) = 1 / 3 * ( Base Area ) * ( Height ),\\Volume = 1 / 3 * ( 4 ) * ( 3.75 ),\\-------------------------\\Volume = 5 cm^3$

<u><em>And thus, you're solution is 5 cm^3, or in other words option b!</em></u>
