The excerpt from "The Odyssey" that best demonstrates the importance of perseverance in Greek society is Odysseus' perseverance, especially the section that involved his wanderings (Books 9-12). Through his courage, determination and strength, he survived. This might be the most difficult test of his perseverance - well, including his loyalty as Calypso's captive.
Answer:
a. Fausto knows that the dog was not really in danger, but the husband and wife believe he rescued their dog.
Explanation:
"The No-Guitar Blues" tells the story of Fausto, a Hispanic boy who dreams of becoming a famous guitarist, however, his family does not have the money for him to buy a guitar and take classes to learn how to play it. However, he finds a lost dog, which belongs to a wealthy couple who are offering a reward to anyone who finds the dog. Faust returns the dog and receives the reward, but the couple asks how the dog was found. Faust did not find the dog in any danger, but he tells an entirely different story to the dog's owners who begin to think that the animal was in great danger while it was lost.
I can't open the story to read and answer it :(
![50 \% \text{ of } \frac{3}{4} \text{ is } \frac{3}{8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=50%20%5C%25%20%5Ctext%7B%20of%20%7D%20%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B4%7D%20%5Ctext%7B%20is%20%7D%20%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B8%7D)
<em><u>Solution</u></em>:
Given that,
We have to find what percent of 3/4 is 3/8
Let "x" be the required percent
Then, from question, we can say,
![x \text{ percent of } \frac{3}{4} \text{ is } \frac{3}{8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20%5Ctext%7B%20percent%20of%20%7D%20%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B4%7D%20%5Ctext%7B%20is%20%7D%20%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B8%7D)
We can solve the above expression for "x"
![\frac{x}{100} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3}{8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7Bx%7D%7B100%7D%20%5Ctimes%20%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B4%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B8%7D)
Move the variable x to one side of equation and move all the constants to other side of equation
![\\\\x = \frac{3}{8} \times 100 \times \frac{4}{3}\\\\x = 12.5 \times 4\\\\x = 50](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5C%5C%5Cx%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B8%7D%20%5Ctimes%20100%20%5Ctimes%20%5Cfrac%7B4%7D%7B3%7D%5C%5C%5C%5Cx%20%3D%2012.5%20%5Ctimes%204%5C%5C%5C%5Cx%20%3D%2050)
Thus 50 % of 3/4 is 3/8
