Aliyah is serving a pie to her friends. she has 2 and 1/2 pies, and would like to cut slices of 1/8 pie for each. how many people can she serve?

20 people

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the number of people she can serve , take the number of pies and divide by the size of each slice

2 1/2 pies ÷ 1/8 pie

Change the mixed number into an improper fraction

2 1/2 = (2*2+1)/2 = 5/2

5/2 ÷1/8

Copy dot flip

5/2 * 8/1

40/2

20

She can serve 20 people

Aliyah will be able to serve 20 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get this answer, you will divide the amount of pies by the amount of slices she would like to cut.

1. Convert 2 1/2 into an improper fraction: 5/2

2. Flip 1/8 into 8/1: (You do this to the divisor and change it to it's reciprocal)

3. You now multiply 5/2*8/1 to get 40/2

4. You now simplify 40/2 to get 20

Hope this helps! :)

idk man good luck man

2 & 7

step-by-step explanation:

he climbs 300 ft/hr at a constant rate. the peak is at 1,500 ft.

when going up, he reaches 600 ft in 2 hours. remember, that he is going in a constant rate. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = 2

assuming that he takes the same route back (meaning that it's a 1500 ft route back, you can solve.

note also that you are solving when he gets back to 600 ft after he reaches the peak.

first, find the amount of hours it takes to get up the peak. divide the total amount (1500), with the ft/her (300) to get the amount of hours (x):

1500/300 = x

x = 5

it takes jamie 5 hours to get up. now, he is returning down, and reaches 600 (his current destination). remember that he climbs at a constant 300 ft/hr. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = x

x = 2

now add the two numbers together.

x = 5 + 2 = 7

jamie takes 7 hours to go up the mountain and reach his current position when descending.

(total amount/constant rate) = (time).

remember that it is a constant rate, so in total, when he gets back down the mountain, it will take the same amount of time as when he goes up. the total amount for the round trip is: 5 + 5 = 10.
