Answer: 7/8

What you have to do here is to find the highest number which can be divided by both. Or you have to divide both the numerator and denominator until it can not be divided by any number anymore. You can do this by finding the highest common factor (<u>HCF)</u> of both the number, 35 and 40.

Highest Common Factor: HCF of two or more numbers is the greatest factor that divides the numbers. For example, 2 is the HCF of 4 and 6.

So, the highest number which divides 35 and 40, is 5. Now 35 divided by 5 is 7 and 40 divided by 5 is 8. The final answer is 7/8 and there is no more numbers which can divide both of them by a specific number.

What is the value of x?<br><br> Enter your answer, as a decimal, in the box.

Katarina [22]

Answer:

$x=50.6cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle MAB is similar to triangle MNP

Since the triangles are similar, the corresponding ratios are in the same proportion.

Therefore we can write the relation;

$\frac{|MB|}{|MP|}=\frac{|MA|}{|MN|}$

$\frac{x}{72.6}=\frac{46.2-14}{46.2}$

This implies that;

$\frac{x}{72.6}=\frac{32.2}{46.2}$

We multiply both sides by 72.6 to get

$\frac{x}{72.6}\times 72.6=\frac{32.2}{46.2}\times72.6$

$\Rightarrow x=50.6$

Hence the value of $x$ is 50.6 cm

Which situation can be modeled by the inequality m > 225? A. The community theater's auditorium can seat at most 225 people.

Georgia [21]

Answer:

<h3>B. The number of people who attended the mathematics conference was more than 225.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality m > 225, the inequality means that m is greater than 225. Since the inequality sign does not include equal to sign, then the value of m cannot be less than and equal to 225. The situation that best fits the expression based on the explanation above is "The number of people who attended the mathematics conference was more than 225"

Emphasis should be on 'WAS MORE THAN' according to the statement. The greater sign means that the number of people will always be greater than or more than 225 representing the variable <em>m as the number of people.</em>
