13/20 because it is 6.5 vs 5/8 being 6.25

13/20 would be the same as 65%. Divide 13 by 20 to get 65%. Then 5/8 would be the same as 62.5%. Divide 5 by 8. The reason I do it this way is because you could spend all day multiplying the fractions to higher numbers and see which is bigger, but converting to other forms is the best to tell. Percentages don't lie. So that means that 13/20 is bigger.

Adam bought note pads at a 1.45 each and 10 towels he gave the cashier $100 and received $46 change find the cost of the towel

notsponge [240]

$100-$46 = $54 which is how much was spent. 54-1.45 = 52.55 divide that by 10 and you get 5.25

Each towel was $5.25

The next statements are are;

Statement ${}$ Reason

Segment $\overline {DC}$ ≅ Segment $\overline {AB}$ ${}$ CPCTC

$\overline {AD}$ ≅ $\overline {BC}$ and $\overline {DC}$ ≅ $\overline {AB}$ , therefore;

ABCD is a parallelogram ${}$ Parallelogram side theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement ${}$ Reason

Segment $\overline {DC}$ ≅ Segment $\overline {AB}$ by Congruent Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent (CPCTC)

Given that $\overline {AD}$ ≅ $\overline {BC}$ and we have that $\overline {DC}$ ≅ $\overline {AB}$ , we get;

ABCD is a parallelogram ${}$ Parallelogram side theorem

The parallelogram side theorem states that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram if it has two pairs or sets of congruent opposite sides.

Need help ASAP to this math question about how many gallons it will take to fill a pool

NARA [144]

1 cubic foot = 7.48 gallons

hence
$\frac{7.48 gal}{1 ft^3} =1$

unit conversion
$\frac{3000 ft^3}{} \times \frac{7.48 gal}{1 ft^3} = 3000 \times 7.48 gal$

3000 x 7.48 =22440
