Consider the division problem 1/2 ÷ 3. Describe a situation this division could represent. Then find the solution.

Mary has two friends over, she wants to split half of a cake she has left over into thirds for her and her friends. 1/2 ÷ 3 is 1/6. This means that each friend will get 1/6 of the full cake.

Step-by-step explanation:

I make up stories and know how to divide fractions. To solve a division problem like this you want to take the 3 and turn it into 3/1. then, flip the 1/2 around to it is 2/1. Then, multiply the two together.

∠1≅∠2 by the alternate exterior angles theorem.

step-by-step explanation:

given, a ∥ b and ∠1 ≅ ∠3 .we have to prove that e ∥ f

we know that ∠1≅∠3 and that a || b because they are given. we see that by the alternate exterior angles theorem. therefore, ∠2≅∠3 by the transitive property. so, we can conclude that e || f by the converse alternate exterior angles theorem.

we have to fill the missing statement.

transitivity property states that if a = b and b = c, then a = c.

now, given ∠1≅∠3 and by transitivity property ∠2≅∠3 .

hence, to apply transitivity property one angle must be common which is not in result after applying this property which is ∠1.

the only options in which ∠1 is present are ∠1 and ∠2, ∠1 and ∠4

∠1 and ∠4 is not possible ∵ after applying transitivity we didn't get ∠4.

hence, the missing statement is ∠1≅∠2.

so, ∠1≅∠2 by the alternate exterior angles theorem.
