Ginny divided the cake into 12 pieces. She gave 4 pieces to Sammy. What fraction of the cake did she have left?

1 answer:

5 0

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!

Answer:

25 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Cross multiply and solve for x:

32x = 800

x = 25

Solve x2 = 12x – 15 by completing the square. Which is the solution set of the equation?

REY [17]

X ·2 = 12x - 15

2x = 12x - 15

2x + (-12x) = (12x - 15) + (-12x)

Result: x = 3/2
