A pie is cut in such a way that one piece, which is one quarter of the pie, is twice as large as each of theother pieces. How many pieces of pie are there?
A 4
B 5
C 6
D 7

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

We take the information from the text given, to find the number of pieces.

We have that:

  • One piece is 1/4 of the entire pie.
  • The other n pieces are each 1/8 of the pie.

Doing this, we get that the number of pieces is 7 pieces, option D.

Sum:

The entire fraction pie is:

(1)/(4) + (1)/(8)n

The entire fraction is 1, so:

(1)/(4) + (1)/(8)n = 1

How many pieces of pie are there?

We have to solve the equation for n, so:

(1)/(4) + (1)/(8)n = 1

(n)/(8) = 1 - (1)/(4)

(n)/(8) = (4)/(4) - (1)/(4)

(n)/(8) = (3)/(4)

4n = 3*8

n = (24)/(4)

n = 6

6 pieces at 1/8, and the 7th at 1/4. Thus, there are 7 pieces, and the correct answer is given by option D.

Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 of the pie is one piece. This leaves 3/4 of the pie. Each remaining piece is 1/2 of the larger quarter piece. The smaller pieces are 1/8 of the pie.

The fraction 3/4 = 6/8.

This makes 6 smaller pieces. each of 3 quarters is split in half.

6 + 1 = 7.

7 pieces in all.

If you do not like arithmetic, draw a picture. Split the pie in quarters. Cut all except for one of them in half. This gives 7 pieces.

Solve the system of linear equations by graphing, round the solution to the nearest tenth.y=-0.25x+4.7
y=4.9x-1.64
The approximate solution to the system is (____,____).

Answers

For this case we have the following system of equations:
 y = -0.25x + 4.7 y = 4.9x-1.64
 When solving the problem graphically we must take into account the following:
 1) The solution of the system of equations is given by the intersection of both functions.
 2) The solution is an ordered pair of the form (x, y)
 For this case we observe that the solution is given by:
 (x, y) = (1.23, 4.39)
 Note: see attached image.
 Answer:
 
The approximate solution to the system is (1.23, 4.39)

The approximatesolution to the system is (1.23,4.39).

what is Graphical method?

Graphical method, or Geometric method, allows solving simple linear programmingproblems intuitively and visually. This method is limited to two or three problems decision variables since it is not possible to graphically illustrate more than 3D.

For this case we have the following system of equations:

y=-0.25x+4.7

y=4.9x-1.64

The above linear system equation can be solved using graph, using

1) The solution of given system of equations can be determined  by the intersecting point of equation.

2) Then the solution will be an ordered pair, form (x, y).

Now considering the above two points, the graph is attached below:

look at the intersecting point here, the x- coordinate is 1.23 and the ycoordinate is approx. 4.40.

Hence, the approximate solution to the system is (1.23,4.39)

A violin was on sale of 50% off. the sale price is $50. what was the original price

Answers

In the given question, there are several important information's that have been given. based on these information's the correct answer to the question can be determined. It is already given that the selling price is $50. 50% off has already been declared.
Then
The amount of sale given on the violin = (50/100) * 50 dollars
                                                             = 25 dollars.
So the sale that has been given on the violin is $25.
Then the original price of the violin = (50 + 25) dollars
                                                        = 75 dollars
So the original price of the violin was $75.
If it is on sale for half off and the price comes down to $50 then the original price must have been $100. 50%=50/100. With $50 is 50% of 100

a cross-section is taken parallel to the bases of a general cylinder and has an area of 18. If the height of the cylinder is H, what is the volume of the cylinder? Explain your reasoning.

Answers

∵ the cross-section is parallel to the bases of the cylinder, then it is congruent to the bases thus, the area of the base of the cylinder is 18.
The volume of a general cylinder is the product of the area of the cylinder’s base times the height of the cylinder,
So the volume of the general cylinder is = 18 H

Which is the best definition of the radius of a circle? A. The distance around the outside of the circle
B. The distance across the middle of the circle
C. The Point at the center of the circle
D. The distance from the center to any point on the circle

Answers

The best definition of the radius of a circle is option D: "The distance from the center to any point on the circle."

The radius is a fundamental geometric concept that is integral to understanding and describing circles. It is a straight line segment that extends from the center of the circle to its outer edge.

This single measurement defines the size of the circle and is consistent from the center to any point on the circumference. It is crucial in various mathematical and geometric calculations, including calculating the circle's area, circumference, and relationships with other elements in geometry. Option D succinctly encapsulates the essence of the radius and its geometric significance in a clear and concise manner.
