A baker is selling pies his first customer buys 1/2 of all the pies plus 1/2 of a pie. His second customer then buys 1/2 of the pies plus 1/2 of a pie the last customer buys 1/2 of the pies plus 1/2 pie. he has no more pies. how many did he start with?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

7 pies

Step-by-step explanation:

The first customer buys half of the pies (3-1/2) plus 1/2 of a pie (technically 4 pies in total) -----> there are 3 pies left.

The second customer buys half of the pies leftover (1-1/2) plus another 1/2 (technically 2 pies in total) -----> this leaves 1 pie.

The last customer buys half of the pies leftover (1/2) plus another 1/2 (technically 1 pie in total) -----> this leaves 0 pies.

A restaurant customer left $3.50 as a tip. The tax on the meal was 7% and the tip was 20% of the cost including tax.

Answers

Answer:

17.50

Step-by-step explanation:

you really don't need to know the tax amount.

20% of x = 3.50

(20/100) x = 3.50  Divide top and bottom of the left number by 20

(20÷20) / (100÷20)  *  x = 3.50

(1/5) x = 3.50           Multiply both sides by 5  

x = 3.50 * 5

x = 17.50

The meal cost 17.50

Answers

Answer:

36 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

12 yards.

We need to convert it into feets. We know that ,

[tex] \implies[/tex] 1 yard = 3 feet

[tex] \implies[/tex] 12 yards = 12 * 3 ft

[tex] \implies[/tex] 12 yards = 36 ft .

Hence the required answer is 36 feets .

Answer:

the formula for converting yards into feet: 1 yard is equal to 3 feet. Write out the necessary math problem or use a calculator. If you want to convert 21 yards, for example, the problem would be 21 multiplied by 3 (21 x 3). Finish the conversion.

Luis, Pedro y Ernesto fueron a comer pizza. Entre Luis y Ernesto comieron el doble que Pedro. Pedro comió el doble que Ernesto. Entre los 3 se comieron una pizza ¿Qué porción se comió cada uno?

Answers

Answer:

Luis comió 1/2 pizza, Pedro comió 1/3 pizza y Ernesto comió 1/6 pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dado que Luis, Pedro y Ernesto fueron a comer pizza, y entre Luis y Ernesto comieron el doble que Pedro, y Pedro comió el doble que Ernesto, y entre los 3 se comieron una pizza, para determinar qué porción se comió cada uno se debe realizar el siguiente cálculo:  

L + P + E = 1

L + E = 2P

P = 2E

L + E = 4E

L = 4E - E

L = 3E

3E + 2E + E = 1

6E = 1

E = 1/6

E = 0.166

P = 0.166 x 2

P = 0.333

L = 0.166 x 3  

L = 0.5  

L = 1/2

Por lo tanto, Luis comió 1/2 pizza, Pedro comió 1/3 pizza y Ernesto comió 1/6 pizza.

Find the slant height l of the cone given the surface area S.

S=126π cm²



The slant height is
centimeters.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the surface area of the cone is ...

  A = πr² +πrL =  πr(r +L)

The radius of this cone is half its diameter so is (12 cm)/2 = 6 cm. Then the slant height L can be found from ...

  126π cm² = π(6 cm)(6 cm +L)

  21 cm = 6 cm +L . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6π cm

  15 cm = L . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 6 cm

The slant height is 15 centimeters.

GivenVertical Angles Theorem (1st Occurrence)Vertical Angles Theorem (2nd Occurrence)Converse of the Alternate Interior Angles TheoremTransitive Property of Congruence

========================================================

Explanation:

We always start with "given" when it comes to proofs in geometry, and proofs in general. Think of it like starting to build a house. Someone goes out and buys the material, which is the "given" that you start to work with. When we cross two lines to form an X shape, the angles opposite each other are known as vertical angles. They don't need to align vertically to be considered as such. Angles 2 and 3 fit the description. Vertical angles are always the same measure. I'm not sure why your teacher wanted to emphasize "1st occurrence" and "2nd occurrence". That part is irrelevant in my opinion.See item #2 above. Alternate interior angles are angles inside the parallel lines, and they are on alternating sides of the transversal cut. One pair of alternate interior angles is angle 3 and angle 6.The transitive property is the idea of chaining equations together. If we know that A = B and B = C, then we link them together to conclude that A = C. You can think of it as if you started in town A, moved to town B, then ultimately ended up in town C. So therefore you've gone from A to C.

Write the equation of a circle if its diameter has endpoints (2, 1) and (6, -3).

Answers

Answer:

y = -x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Coordinates are (2, 1) and (6, -3)

y = mx + c

For Coordinate (2, 1)

1 = m(2) + c

1 = 2m + c ........... Eq1

For Coordinate (6, -3)

-3 = m(6) + c

-3 = 6m + c ........... Eq2

From Eq2 - Eq1

6m - 2m = -3 - 1

4m = - 4

m = -1

From eq 1

1 = 2m + c

1 = 2(-1) + c

1 = -2 + c

c = 2 + 1

c = 3

So,

y = mx + c

y = (-1)(x) + 3

y = -x + 3

if it takes just 10 hrs to make $80 , would it take more or less hours to make $200.

The answer is it will take more hours to make $200,

Based on this idea established: we say if it's giving more then less would divide.

so therefore:

we have

After 4 years eldi will be three times the age he had 10 years ago. Using algebra find the age of eldi

Answers

Suppose that Eldi has x years old now :

x + 4 = 3 × ( x - 10 )

x + 4 = 3x - 30

Add both sides 30

x + 4 + 30 = 3x - 30 + 30

x + 34 = 3x

Subtract both sides x

x - x + 34 = 3x - x

34 = 2x

2x = 34

Divide both sides by 2

2x ÷ 2 =34 ÷ 2

x = 17

_____________________________

Thus Eldi is 17 .
