With two straight cuts, we can divide a flat pancake into four pieces: [asy]
size(4cm);
draw(Circle((0,0),1));
draw(rotate(45)*(1,0)--rotate(200)* (1,0),dashed);
draw(rotate(150)*(1,0)--rotate(330) *(1,0),dashed);
[/asy]
What is the fewest number of straight cuts that will divide a flat pancake into $16$ pieces? (The pieces do not need to be the same shape or size.)

x + 4/7

step-by-step explanation:

use cymath

it’s the first one your welcome

you ignore the remainder, therefore the answer is y = x+2

step-by-step explanation:

you have to divide the denominator by the numerator. you can use synthetic division or long division.

[-5] .     1 .     7 .     11

x + 2 + 1/x+5

whole number data type

step-by-step explanation:

as whole number type represents whole number

like 1, 2 ,3, 4

in other words the whole numbers are those numbers which cannot be written infraction.

since we can take days as a whole number i.e 1 day 2 day and we cannot write 1.2 day hence we will use whole number data type
