For the breakfast buffet, mr. walker must cut and equally divide 12 loaves of bread over 7 platters. how many loaves of bread are placed on each platter?

Answer : The number of loaves of bread placed on each platter are, or

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that Mr. walker must cut and equally divide 12 loaves of bread over 7 platters.

Now we have to determine the number of loaves of bread are placed on each platter.

As, 7 platters contains number of loaves of bread = 12

So, 1 platters contain number of loaves of bread =

                                                                                 =

Thus, the number of loaves of bread placed on each platter are, or

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
