Answer:

Total peanut=324

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the peanut=x

Philip took 1/3 of x

Remaining peanut=x-1/3x

=3x-x/3

=2/3x

Joy took 1/4 of the remaining leaving 3/4

Remaining=(3/4)(2x/3)

=6x/12

=1/2x

Brent took 1/2 of those, leaving 1/2

=(1/2)*(1/2x)

=1/4x

Preston took 10

Remaining

1/4x - 10 = 71

1/4x = 81

x=81÷1/4

=81*4/1

x = 324

Total peanut =324

Philip=1/3x

=1/3*324

=108

Remaining 324-108

=216

Joy=1/4 of 216

=54

Remaining

324-108-54=162

Brent=1/2 of 162

=81

Preston=10

Total taken=Philip+joy+Brent+Preston

=108+54+81+10

=253

Total remaining=Total peanut - total taken

=324-253

=71

kupik [55]

Answer:

The answer is "She cut a total of 42 pieces of pie".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Total pie=  5 \frac{1}{4}

cut pie = \frac{1}{8}

The number of pieces of the pie she has=?

Solve the mixed fraction value:

\to 5 \frac{1}{4}= \frac{21}{4}

If she cuts the pieces into the entire pie, that is  = \frac{1}{8}  

So, the equation is:

\to \frac{21}{4} = \frac{1}{8} \times x

\to x= \frac{21 \times 8}{4}\\\\ \to x= 21 \times 2\\\\ \to  x=42

The percentage of U.S. college freshmen claiming no religious affiliation has risen in recent decades. The bar graph shows the
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

0.5%/year

24.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimate the average yearly increase in the percentage of first-year college females claiming no religious affiliation

Percentage of females by year:

1980 = 6.2%

1990 = 10.8%

2000 = 13.6%

2012 = 21.7%

Average yearly increase :

Percentage increase between 1980 - 2012 :

2012% - 1980% = ( 21.7% - 6.2%) = 15.5% increase over [(2012 - 1980)] = 32 years

15.5 % / 32 years = 0.484375% / year = 0.5%/year

b. Estimate the percentage of first-year college females who will claim no religious affiliation in 2030,

Given an average increase of 0.484375% / year

(2030 - 1980) = 50 years

Hence by 2030 ; ( 50 years × 0.484375%/year) = 24.218% will claim no religious affiliation.

=24.2% (nearest tenth)
