The Freeman family is barbecuing veggie burgers, corn cobs, and mushroom caps in their local park. If 3/8 of the items barbecued are veggie burgers, and 1/3 of the items barbecued are corn cobs, what fraction of barbecued items are mushroom caps?
A : 17/24
B : 4/11
C : 3/8
D : 1/8
E: 7/24

The answer is E: 7/24ths

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure this problem out you must first change 3/8 and 1/3 to have the same denominator. you can do this by multiplying 3/8 by 3 and 1/3 by 8 which gives you 3/8 = 9/24 and 1/3 = 8/24.

next you need to add these two fractions together to find the difference so 9/24 + 8/24 which equals 17/24.

the last step is to find the missing amount which can be done by subtracting 17 from 24. 24-17 = 7 so your answer is 7/24.

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
