Four friends are sharing a pizza. One friend eats a quarter of the pizza. The other three friends equally divide the rest among themselves. What portion of the pizza did each of the other three friends receive?

We are asked to make z the subject of the formula.

First, we subtract y/x from both sides of the equation

Thus, the formula for finding the value of z is  .

The scientist found that as water temperature increases, the fish population decreases. This means that the two variables move in opposite directions—when one increases, the other decreases.

This type of relationship is called a negative correlation.

We are asked to find the fraction of pizza the three friends shared equally.

First, the whole pizza is represented by 1. If one friend ate a quarter of the pizza, then:

First friend eats =1/4 of 1=1/4*1=1/4

Remaining fraction of the pizza=1-1/4=3/4

Now, the three friends share 3/4 amongst themselves equally. So, each friend gets

The three friends each gets 1/4 of the pizza.

Choice A: 2 packs of Orange and 2 packs of Cream Soda

• Total drinks: 48 + 24 = 72 drinks
• Total cost: (2 * $15) + (2 * $5) = $30 + $10 = $40
• This choice not only meets the requirement of at least 60 drinks but also offers the best value in terms of cost per drink, making it the most cost-effective option.

Choice B: 3 packs of Root Beer

• Total drinks: 3 * 24 = 72 drinks
• Total cost: 3 * $14 = $42
• While this choice meets the requirement of at least 60 drinks, it's not the most cost-effective, as it costs $42for 72 drinks.

Choice C: 1 pack of Orange, 2 packs of Root Beer, and 1 pack of Cream Soda

• Total drinks: 24 + 48 + 12 = 84 drinks
• Total cost: $9 + (2 * $14) + $5 = $9 + $28 + $5 = $42
• This choice provides more than 60 drinks, but it's not the most cost-effective due to its higher cost of $42, same as choice B.

Choice D: 4 packs of Cream Soda

• Total drinks: 4 * 12 = 48 drinks
• Total cost: 4 * $5 = $20
• While this choice is the most cost effective, it falls short of providing the desired number of drinks.

we are tasked to find the number of cups of flour that will be used to make 90 cookies.

This is a proportion equation, and letting x be the number of cups of flour we set the equation as follows:

Solve the value of x by cross-products

Next, we convert the mixed fraction into improper fraction in order to carry out multiplication

The baker needs 15.75 cups of flour to make 120 cookies.  15.75 in mixed fraction is  

we need to find the circumference of the circle from the given area.

The first step is to find the radius of the circle using the given area. Let r be the radius of the circle, then:

Substituting the value of area in the above equation becomes

Dividing both sides by pi and taking square root on both sides yields

Now, we know the radius of circle to be  9 in, the circumference of the circle becomes,

  in.

By inspection, we find the corresponding values of the given denominations in the following manner.

percentages are fractions with denominator equal to 100. Then, in decimal form:

The decimal form of 67.9% is 0.679.

we set the conversion equation to find the unknown unit. Arrange the equation such that the unwanted units cancel out and the wanted unit remains.

The value 365.76 cm is close to 365 cm. Therefore, 4 yards is approximately 365 cm.

we are to use the pie chart to find the number of students enrolled in dental hygiene care.

Letting x represent the number of students enrolled in dental hygiene care, we set the proportion equation with number of students as numerator and percentage as denominator. It should be noted that the whole pie chart represents 100% of the 800 students. Then,

We solve the value of x by cross-products.

Therefore, 144 students will enroll for a dental hygiene program.
