Virgil has 1/6 of the original cake, which he wants to divide into 4 parts. Thus:
1/6 / 4
= 1/6 x 1/4
= 1/24
Each person will receive 1/24 of the original cake.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If n is the number that TJ is thinking, then says he found 1 third of the number, you would multiply 1/3 by n. Then he says to subtract 5, which would be the -5.
So, if he has 4 dozen eggs, ten dollars per dozen, he has spent $40 on 48 eggs. <em>This means the cost of one egg = 48/40. </em>This can simplify to <em>6/5 </em>which is equal to<em> $1.20. </em>This means the value of one egg is $1.20, including the broken ones! So if six were broken, we multiply 1.20 x 6 which equals <em>$7.20!</em>
Use this "formula" to help find percentages
<em>Part/Total = %( Percentage )/ 100</em>
Now that we know how much money has gone to waste, we can plug in the known values into this "formula."
<em>7.2/48 = x/100</em>
Solve accordingly; cross multiply, 720 = 48x; divide both sides of the equation by 48 to isolate the variable, 720/48 = 48x/48; now you have your final answer which is:
15 = x; going back to the "formula" this means 15% of his money has gone to waste. I hope this helped! :)
-7x+4 i’m not sure if it’s correct but i hope it is. sorry if it’s not
