Ms. Rodriguez broyght 10 oranges for afternoon snak that she needs to share evenly with the 15 players on her daughters soccer team. should she cut the oranges in halves, thirds, or quarters? justify your answer

she should cut them into thirds

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 10 oranges while there are 15 players.

a) if she cuts them into halves, she will have 20 slices with 5 left over, who will get an extra slice while who doesn't? it can't work  

b) if she cuts them into thirds, she will have 30 slices with 15 left over, that is enough to give each player two slices with none left over, it works!!

c) if she cuts them into quarters, she would have 40 slices with 25 left over. this means some players would get three slices, while others would only get two. it doesn't work.

this is why B is the right answer

so a parallelogram is just like a square base times height. multiply 40 and 39 to get 1560 inches.

a triangle is base times height divided by two. so multiply 7.9 and 5 and then divide it by 2 to get 19.75inches.

the kite can be split into two separate triangles and added together to get the total area. 30 x 4 /2 which equals 60. make sure to double it for the two triangles making 120.
