Answer:

  C.  1 3/4 - (a fraction less than 3/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Your number sense should be able to help you with this one.

A. 5 × 1/10 = 1/2, not a number greater than 1

B. 4/9 + 1/3 = 7/9, not a number greater than 1

C. 1 3/4 -1/2 = 1 1/4, a number greater than 1 (see below for more explanation)

D. 7/8 × 1/2 = 7/16, not a number greater than 1.

__

<em>More explanation</em>

Let x represent a number less than 3/4. Then we want to make sure that ...

  y = 1 3/4 - x

will be greater than 1.

Solving for x, we get ...

  x = 1 3/4 - y

Applying the requirement that x < 3/4, we have ...

  x < 3/4

  (1 3/4 -y) < 3/4

  1 3/4 < y + 3/4 . . . . . . add y

  1 < y . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 3/4

We see that the condition on x makes sure that y is always greater than 1.

Identify the polygon that is the shape of the United States flag.
Rudiy27

Answer:

rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Polygons are named according to the number of sides and angles they have. The most familiar polygons are the triangle, the rectangle, and the square. A regular polygon is one that has equal sides. Polygons also have diagonals, which are segments that join two vertices and are not sides.

\mathbb{\pink{\huge{Hello\:Mate!!}}}

Answer

Equal sign is missing out there.

Step-by-step explanation.

If it is an equation, there must be equal sign present. It means, we are equating something. If there is equal sign, then it can't be an equation.

Thanks....!

1. Find the value of x. The diagram is not to scale. Lines F and G are parallel.
Rus_ich [418]

(1)

we are given that

f and g are parallel lines

so, sum of both angles must be 180

5x+9x+26=180

now, we can solve for x

14x+26=180

Subtract both sides by 26

14x+26-26=180-26

14x=154

x=11...........Answer

(2)

we are given that

l and m are parallel lines

so, alternate angles must be equal

so, we get

x=28...........Answer
