Answer: The following statement is true about indexes and scales: <em><u>They rank-order the units of analysis in terms of specific variables.</u></em>
<u><em>Indexes</em></u> provides with a way to make a complex measure that iterate consequence for multiple rank-ordered related questions or statements.
<u><em>Scale</em></u> is a type of complex measurement that is combined of several items that have a empirical structure among them.
So...notice first off, the 0.6 has 1 decimal, the 0.0024 has 4 decimals
what happens is, the dot goes poof BUT, you need to add as many zeros to each number as the other's decimals.
the 0.6 has one decimal, so 0.0024 gets an added zero and loses the dot, to become 000240.
the 0.0024 has four decimals, thus the 0.6 gets added 4 zeros then, and loses the dot, to become 060000
and then you divided that, those are the dividend and divisor.
1/2x + 1 = 2/3x
1/2x - 2/3x = -1
-x/6 = -1
x = 6
Hope this helps!
