Teagan believes she can use a division expression to find the amount of pizza each of 6 friends will eat if they share Four-fift

hs of a pizza.
Which statement best explains why Teagan is correct or incorrect?


Teagan is correct in using a division expression because Four-fifths is less than 1.


Teagan is correct in using a division expression because the question is about splitting a value into equal parts.


Teagan is incorrect in using a division expression because the term "of" in a math problem implies multiplication.

Answer:

Option (b)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Total no of friends are 6

The share of each friend is 4/5

Pizza eaten by each friend is equal to the total pizza eaten divided by total no of friends. It can be given by :

=\dfrac{\dfrac{4}{5}}{6}\\\\=\dfrac{4}{5}\times \dfrac{1}{6}\\\\=\dfrac{2}{15}

It means that Teagan is correct in using a division expression because the question is about splitting a value into equal parts.  Hence, the correct option is (b).

What are the quotient and remainder when a) 19 is divided by 7? b) −111 is divided by 11? c) 789 is divided by 23? d) 1001 is di
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

a) quotient = 2,  remainder = 5

b) quotient = -10,  remainder = -1

c) quotient = 34,  remainder = 7

d) quotient = 77,  remainder = 0

e) quotient = 0,  remainder = 0

f) quotient = 0,  remainder = 3

g) quotient = 0,  remainder = -1

h) quotient = 4,  remainder = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between the quotient, remainder and divisor is that the product of the quotient and divisor added to the reminder gives the dividend.

Based on this, when

a)19 is divided by 7 = 19/7

= 2\frac{5}{7}

Hence the quotient is 2, the remainder is 5

Applying the same principle, when

b) −111 is divided by 11

= -10\frac{1}{11}

Hence the quotient is -10, the remainder is -1

c) 789 is divided by 23

=34\frac{7}{23}

Hence the quotient is 34, the remainder is 7

d) 1001 is divided by 13

= 77

Hence the quotient = 77, the remainder is 0

e) 0/19 = 0

Hence the quotient is 0, the remainder is 0

f) 3/5

Hence the quotient is 0, the remainder is 3

g) -1/3

Hence the quotient is 0, the remainder is -1

h) 4/1

Hence the quotient is 4, the remainder is 0

Jane builds a ramp made of a triangular prism and a rectangular prism. What is the volume
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

Correct option: third one ->  11.5 m3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of the ramp, first we need to find the volume of the rectangular prism and the volume of the triangular prism:

V_rectangular = 4m * 2m * 1m = 8 m3

V_triangular = (2m * 3.5m * 1m) / 2 = 3.5 m3

Now, to find the volume of the ramp, we just need to sum both volumes:

V_total = V_rectangular + V_triangular = 8 + 3.5 = 11.5 m3

Correct option: third one.

Bald-faced hornets have a hive that is approximately cone-shaped, as shown in the image. One such hive has a radius of 15 inches
sineoko [7]

Answer:

Volume of the hive is 4712.4 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since hive has the shape of a cone with radius = 15 inches and height = 20 inches

Therefore, volume of the given cone = \frac{1}{3}(\text{Area of the base})\times \text{height}

Area of the circular base = πr²

Area = π(15)²

        = 225π

Volume of the cone = \frac{1}{3}(225\pi )\times{20}

                                 = 1500π

                                 = 4712.39

                                 ≈ 4712.4 square inches

Therefore, volume of the hive is 4712.4 square inches.
