Andrew wants 1/4 of a pizza brice wants 2/9 and collins wants 5/12 .how many slices would the pizza need to be cut into?

The whole pizza needs to be 36 slices.

LCM of 4, 9, 12 = 36

Andrew gets 9 slices

Brice gets 8 slices

and Collins gets 15 slices

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2  

x
