Answer:
Wednesday

Explanation:
To be able to compare the values, we will first need to have a common denominator for all fractions.
Common denominator is 10*11 = 110
For Monday:
Sarah's homework was 7/10 which is equivalent to 77/110
For Tuesday:
Sarah's homework was 3/5 which is equivalent to 66/110 
For Wednesday:
Sarah's homework was 9/11 which is equivalent to 90/110 
For Thursday:
Sarah's homework was 1/2 which is equivalent to 55/110

Now, we will simply be able to compare these values as follows:
90/110 > 77/110 > 66/110 > 55/110
Therefore, the day with the most homework is the one having 90/110  that corresponds to 9/11 of the classes. This day is Wednesday

Hope this helps :)

A rectangle is 5 meters longer than its width. If the length is shortened by 2 meters and width is increased by 1 meter, the are
Katarina [22]

Answer: Area = 6m²

              Smaller number = 16

              Hours = 9.6 h

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle is 5 meters longer than its width. If the length is shortened by 2 meters and width is increased by 1 meter, the area remains the same. Find the area of the rectangle.

1) w = x m                                2) w = x + 1 m

     l = x + 5  m                               l = x + 5 - 2 = x + 3 m

A₁ = A₂

A = w*l

A₁ = x(x+5) = x² + 5x

A₂ = (x+1)(x+2) = x² + x + 2x + 2 = x² + 3x + 2

A₁ = A₂

x² + 5x = x² + 3x + 2

5x - 3x = 2

2x = 2

x = 1

A₁ = x(x+5) = 1.6 = 6 m²

The ratio of two numbers is 2:5. If the larger number is 40, what is the smaller number.

<u> 2 </u> = <u> x </u>

5     40

5x = 80

x = 80/5 = 16

The sum of the measures of angle M and angle R is 90°.
denis23 [38]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have: The sum of the measures of angle M and angle R is 90°

M + R = 90°    

M = (5x + 10)°

Plug M into (1)

the equation: (5x + 10)° + R = 90°   (2)

R=55° into (2)

(5x + 10)° + 55° = 90°

5x + 10 + 55 = 90

 5x + 65 = 90

5x = 25

x = 5
