Christine baked a pumpkin pie. She ate 1/6 of the pie. Her brother ate 1/3 of it , and gave the left overs to his friends . What fraction of the pie did he gave to his friends?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Ok, so first you need to get the fractions to have the same denominator:
1/3 = 2/6 and 1/6 = 1/6
Add the two eaten parts together : 2/6+1/6=3/6
Now, subtract the eaten part ( 3/6 ) from the whole pie ( 6/6 or 1 whole)
6/6 - 3/6 = 3/6
So, he gave half of the pie to his friends because 3/6 = 1/2
Hope this helps! If you have any questions let me know!

Answer 2

Answer:

The fraction of the pie given to his friend is $(1)/(2)$

Christine ate $(1)/(6)$ of the pie
Her brother ate $(1)/(3)$ of the pie

Further Explanation

The leftover given to his friends will be determined by adding the portion Christine and her brother ate which are $(1)/(6)$ and $(1)/(3)$ respectively, then subtracted from the whole portion.

= $(1)/(6)$ + $(1)/(3)$ (The lowest common denominator of 6 and 3 = 6)

= (1 x 1) + (2 x 1) /6

= (1) + (2) / 6

= 1 + 2 / 6

= $(3)/(6)$

Thus, total portion of the pie eaten by Christine and her brother = $(3)/(6)$ . Also the fraction of the whole portion of the pie = $(6)/(6)$

Determining the portion given to the friend =

Subtracting $(6)/(6)$ – $(3)/(6)$

= $(6)/(6)$ – $(3)/(6)$ (The lowest common denominator of 6 and 6 = 6)

= (1 x 6) – (1 x 3) / 6

= (6) – (3) / 6

= 6 – 3 / 6

= $(3)/(6)$

= $(1)/(2)$ (further broken down to this)

Therefore the fraction given to the friend is $(1)/(2)$ .

The above mathematical problem is a typical fraction problem which was solved with the aid of some order of operations called BODMAS.

BODMAS simply means Brackets, Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction.

What is the solution to the equation? 4y – 12 = –4 A. y = 11 B. y = 2 C. y = –4 D. y = –13

Answers

Hi There!

What is the solution to the equation? 4y – 12 = –4 A. y = 11 B. y = 2 C. y = –4 D. y = –13

Answer:y=2

First simplify
4y+-12=-4
Reorder the terms:
-12+4y=-4
Move all terms containing "y" to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add 12 to each side of the equation:
-12 + 12 + 4y = -4 + 12

Combine like terms:
-12 + 12 = 0
0 + 4y = -4 + 12
4y = -4 + 12
Combine like terms:
-4 + 12 = 8
4y = 8
Divide each side by '4'.
y = 2

So your answer is B Y=2

You make punch for a party. The ratio og ginger ale to fruit juice is 8 cups to 3 cups. You decide to add 4 more cups of ginger ale. How many more cupsof fruit juice do you need to keep the correct ratio.

Answers

To get the answer we can use proportion
8 ginger ----------------- 3 fruit
12 ginger ----------------x
Crossmultiply now
8x=12*3 /:8
x= $(12*3)/(8)$
x= $(36)/(8) \n x=4.5$
To not change ratio we have to have 4.5 cups of fruilt juice. We initialy had 3, so we have to add 1.5 cup of fruit juice.
