Balu and Pumba shared ½ of a cake. Balu got to eat twice as much cake as Pumba. What fraction of the whole cake did Balu eat?

Answers

Answer 1
Balu had 1/3 of the whole cake.

Let x represent how much Pumba had, therefore 2x = Balu's portion
3x = 1/2
0.5 divided by 3 is 0.167, which is Pumba's portion of the whole cake.
Balu had twice as much, so multiply this number by 2 to get 0.33, which is equal to 1/3 as a fraction.

You could also draw it out. Imagine the 1/2 that Balu and Pumba shared was cut into 3 equal slices. Balu had 2 slices and Pumba had 1, since Balu had twice as much cake as Pumba. Then, imagine the other half that Balu and Pumba did not have was cut into thirds as well. There would be 6 slices total  and Balu had 2 of them. 2/6 can be reduced to 1/3

Hope this helps!
Answer 2

Final answer:

Balu ate 1/3 of the whole cake.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the concept of fractions. Let's say Pumba ate x fraction of the cake. Then Balu ate twice as much as Pumba, which means Balu ate 2x fraction of the cake. Together, Pumba and Balu ate 1/2 of the cake. So we can add their fractions: x + 2x = 1/2. Combining the like terms, we get 3x = 1/2. To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 3: x = 1/2 ÷ 3 = 1/6. Therefore, Balu ate 2x = 2 × (1/6) = 2/6 = 1/3 of the cake.

The one with a dilation because a dilation is does not result in congruent figures....but rather similar figures

Answer:

A, B and D

Step-by-step explanation:

Any Geometric figure whether translated (slid), rotated  or reflected (flipped) maintains its size since those geometric transformations just dislocate, so they remain congruents. But when a square is dilated, the following outcome is a similar one.

So, in A, B, D we have similar figures, not congruent. In A, B we have smaller squares and in D we have a bigger one.

Julia left school and travel toward the train station. One hour later Carlos left traveling at 30 mph in an effort to catch up to Julia. After traveling for two hours Carlos finally caught up. Find Julie is average speed

Answers

speed = distance/time

distance = speed * time

Carlos traveled for 2 hours.
Julia traveled for 1 more hour, or 3 hours

Carlos:
time = 2
distance = d
speed = 30 mph

distance = speed * time
d = 30 * 2
d = 60 miles

They both traveled 60 miles.

Julia:
time = 3
distance = 60 miles
speed = s

speed = distance/time = (60 miles)/(3 hours) = 20 mph

Julia's speed is 20 mph.

Which graph represents the function f(x) = −|x − 2| − 1?

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]f(x) = -|x -2| - 1[/tex]

The given equation is in the form of [tex]f(x) = a|x -h|+k[/tex]

where (h,k) is the vertex .

[tex]f(x) = -|x -2| - 1[/tex]

h=2 and k=-1 . the value of a=-1

Since the value of 'a' is negative so the graph will be upside down

option 3 is upside down and vertex at (2,-1)

The cost of each friend's meal when the number of friends is 5 is $7.

The cost of each friend's meal in terms of a is 35/a and the cost of each friend's meal when the number of friends is 5 is $7.

How to form an equation?

Determine the known quantities and designate the unknown quantity as a variable while trying to set up or construct a linear equation to fit a real-world application.

In other words, an equation is a set of variables that are constrained through a situation or case.

Given the equation,

6 + ax = 41

Where a is the number of people and x is the cost of each friend's meal.

Now,

ax = 41 - 6

ax = 35

x = 35/a

So it will be the cost of each friend's meal in terms of a.

Now,

If the number of friends = 5

Then,

a = 5

So,

x = 35/5 = 7

Hence "The cost of each friend's meal in terms of a is 35/a and the cost of each friend's meal when the number of friends is 5 is $7".

A candy manufacturer says on its web site that it wants to reach a 60 : 40 consumer taste preference for new products.What do you think it means

Answers

Final answer:

A candy manufacturer wants to achieve a 60:40 consumer taste preference for new products, meaning they want 60% of consumers to prefer their new products and 40% to prefer other products.

Explanation:

When the candy manufacturer says that it wants to reach a 60:40 consumer taste preference for new products, it means that they aim to have 60% of consumers prefer their new products, while 40% of consumers prefer other products.

For example, if they conducted a taste test and found that out of 100 consumers, 60 preferred their new products and 40 preferred other products, then they have achieved their desired consumer taste preference.

This ratio indicates the target market share the candy manufacturer hopes to capture for its new products.

Final answer:

The candy manufacturer wants 60% of consumers to prefer their new products over others.

Explanation:

The candy manufacturer's statement about wanting to reach a 60:40 consumer taste preference for new products means that they aim to have 60% of consumers prefer their new products over other options, while 40% may still prefer other brands or flavors.

For example, if the company launches a new chocolate bar, their goal is to have 60% of consumers say that they like the new chocolate bar, while 40% may still prefer other chocolate bars or candies.

This ratio indicates the company's desired market share and the level of acceptance they are aiming for in order to consider their new products successful.

Answers

5 times 30 = 150 text messages

Fewer - lower Equal to - same More - higher
The first plan has a fixed cost, $30, and a cost per text message of $0.20.
If you sent t number of text messages, the cost per message is $0.20t.
The total cost of the first plan is

0.2t + 30

The second plan simply costs $60 no matter how many texts you used.
The second plan costs

60

Set the two costs equal to each other to find out how many messages you need to send with the first plan to cost the same as the second plan.

0.2t + 30 = 60

0.2t = 30

t = 150

If you use exactly 150 text messages, the plans cost the same.
If you use fewer than 150 text messages, the first plan costs less.
If you use more than 150 text messages, the firs plan costs more.
