Answer:

\frac{8}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that in the after school Dena, Shawn, and Amanda knit scarfs that are the same size with yellow, white, and blue yarn. Denas scarf is 2/5 yellow, Shawn's scarf is 3/5 , and Amanda's scarf is 3/4 yellow.

To make Amanda's argument true, let us compare each fraction by making a common denominator.

We can see that least common denominator of each fraction would be 20.

\text{Dena's scarf}=\frac{2}{5}\Rightarrow\frac{2*4}{5*4}=\frac{8}{20}

\text{Shawn's scarf}=\frac{3}{5}\Rightarrow\frac{3*4}{5*4}=\frac{12}{20}

\text{Amanda's scarf}=\frac{3}{4}\Rightarrow\frac{3*5}{4*5}=\frac{15}{20}

Since \frac{8}{20} , therefore, Amanda's scarf has the most yellow.

What is p=6-2q, p=1+q, how do I use on graph
Novosadov [1.4K]
1] ⬇
p - (6 - 2(q))➡0
p + 2q - 6➡0
q = 3 because 6÷2 = 0
p = 6 because 6 ÷ 1 = 6
Slope ➡ 0.5

2] ⬇
p - (1 + q)➡0
p - q- 1➡0
Q = -1 because 1 ÷ -1 ='-1
P = 1 because 1 ÷ 1 = 1
Slope ➡ 1

2 feet * 3 = 6 feet

 so 5.5 ft * 3 = 16.5 feet, so pole is 16 feet 6 inches
