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.


Teagan is incorrect in using a division expression because the total amount of pizza eaten is unknown.

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).

Students who party before an exam are twice as likely to fail as those who don't party (and presumably study). If 20% of the stu
True [87]

Answer:

The fraction of the students who failed to went partying = \frac{1}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total number of students = 100

No. of students partied are twice the no. of students who not partied.

⇒ No. of students partied = 2 × the no. of students who are not partied

No. of students partied before the exam = 20 % of total students

⇒ No. of students partied before the exam = \frac{20}{100} × 100

⇒ No. of students partied before the exam =  20

No. of students who not partied before the exam = \frac{20}{2} = 10

Thus the fraction of the students who failed to went partying = \frac{10}{100} = \frac{1}{10}

After the closing of the mill, the town of Sawyerville experienced a decline in its population.
ycow [4]

Step-by-step explanation:

P(t) = 12,000 (2)^(-t/15)

9,000 = 12,000 (2)^(-t/15)

0.75 = 2^(-t/15)

ln(0.75) = ln(2^(-t/15))

ln(0.75) = (-t/15) ln(2)

-15 ln(0.75) / ln(2) = t

t = 6.23

Suppose 1000 people enter a chess tournament. Use a rooted tree model of the tournament to determine how many games must be play
Vlada [557]

Answer: 999 games

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many ways to illustrate the rooted tree model to calculate the number of games that must be played until only one player is left who has not lost.

We could go about this manually. Though this would be somewhat tedious, I have done it and attached it to this answer. Note that when the number of players is odd, an extra game has to be played to ensure that all entrants at that round of the tournament have played at least one game at that round. Note that there is no limit on the number of games a player can play; the only condition is that a player is eliminated once the player loses.

The sum of the figures in the third column is 999.

We could also use the formula for rooted trees to calculate the number of games that would be played.

i=\frac{l - 1}{m - 1}

where i is the number of "internal nodes," which represents the number of games played for an "<em>m</em>-ary" tree, which is the number of players involved in each game and l is known as "the number of leaves," in this case, the number of players.

The number of players is 1000 and each game involves 2 players. Therefore, the number of games played, i, is given by

i=\frac{l - 1}{m - 1} = i=\frac{1000 - 1}{2 - 1} = \frac{999}{1} =999

The summer camp Jessica attends is four hundred twenty-three and four tenths miles from her home. A detour adds 10 miles to the
juin [17]

Given that Jessica attends summer camp at a distance of four hundred twenty-three and four tenth mile = 423\frac{4}{10}  = 423 + \frac{4}{10} = 423+0.4 = 423.4 miles

And a detour adds 10 miles to the distance.

That means we need to add 10 miles to the given distance.

So new distance = 423.4 + 10 = 433.4 miles

Hence Jessica needs to travel 433.4 miles for summer camp.
