Answer:

7/40 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve using proportions:

\frac{25in}{35ft} =\frac{1/8 in}{?ft}

Find the scale factor by dividing the numerators 25 by 1/8.

25 ÷ 1/8 = 200   This is the common ratio

To get from the top left number to the top right number, you divide 25 by 200.

To get from the bottom left number to the bottom right number, you divide 35 by 200.

35 ÷ 200 = 0.175

1/8 of an inch represents 0.175 feet.

To find 0.175 in fraction form, reduce 35/200 to its lowest terms.

35/200 = 7/40

1/8 of an inch represents 7/40 feet.

Determine whether or not the lines are parallel based on the
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

answer

Step-by-step explanation:

To see whether or not two lines are parallel, we must compare their slopes. Two lines are parallel if and only if their slopes are equal. The line 2x – 3y = 4 is in standard form. In general, a line in the form Ax + By = C has a slope of –A/B; therefore, the slope of line q must be –2/–3 = 2/3.

Paco needs at least 3/8 yard of twine to build a model ship. how much twine could he buy.
kolezko [41]

Answer:

Option: c is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that paco needs at least 3/8 yard of twine to build a model ship.

that is we require twine of amount greater than 3/8 yards.

<em>now we need to check among the given options which quantity is greater than 3/8 yards.</em>

a)

3/10 yard.

As we know that for two rational numbers with the same numerator but with different denominator the number whose denominator is smaller is a greater quantity.

Hence 3/10 < 3/8

Hence option a is incorrect.

b)

1/4 yard

As to compare to rational numbers we have to either make the numerator equal or their denominator equal. Hence here we multiply and divide 1/4 by 2 to get 8 in the denominator.

\dfrac{1}{4}\times\dfrac{2}{2}=\dfrac{2}{8}

as 2/8 < 3/8

since the denominator is same and the number with the same denominator but with different numerator are compared as whose numerator is greater is a greater quantity.

Hence option b is incorrect.

c)

3/4 yard

Clearly both the numbers have the same numerator but different denominator and we know that for two rational numbers with the same numerator but with different denominator the number whose denominator is smaller is a greater quantity.

Hence 3/8 < 3/4

Hence, option c is correct.

d)

1/8 yard

clearly both the numbers have the same denominator and we know that for two rational numbers withe same denominator but with different numerator the number whose numerator is smaller is a smaller quantity.

Hence, 1/8 < 3/8

Hence, option d is incorrect.

I need help with this math question
djyliett [7]
Percent means per one hundred so we can say that:

p/100≈(28)/(28+81+45+63+35)  guessing with my old eyes :)

p/100≈28/252

p≈2800/252

p≈11.11%

So rounded to the nearest 5% you'd have:

p≈10%
