Answer :
Well, 2/3 times 9 is 6 parts of lasagna, so that means that the family must have eaten less than 6 piece of ziti; and 1/4 times 8 equals 2 parts of ziti...so 1/4 can be your answer!
Answer:
Hence, the possible fractions would be:
[tex]\dfrac{1}{8},\dfrac{2}{8},\dfrac{3}{8},\dfrac{4}{8},\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
" Mary made a small pan of ziti and a small pan of lasagna. she cut the ziti into 8 equal parts and the lasagna into 9 equal parts" .
Now her family ate 2/3 of the lasagna.
That means her family ate 6 lasanga. ( Since 2/3 of 9 parts is 6{ as (2\3)×9=6} ).
Now it is given that her family ate more lasagna than ziti.
i.e. her family would have eaten less than 6 ziti's.
I.e. they would have eaten either 1,2,3,4 or 5 ziti's.
Hence, the possible fractions would be:
[tex]\dfrac{1}{8},\dfrac{2}{8},\dfrac{3}{8},\dfrac{4}{8},\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex]
