Answer:

PM:MQ = 8:3.

Step-by-step explanation:

\rm \angle B\hat{M}P + 90^{\circ} + \angle C\hat{M}Q = 180^{\circ};

\implies \rm \angle B\hat{M}P + \angle C\hat{M}Q = 90^{\circ};

\implies \rm 90^{\circ} - \angle B\hat{M}P = \angle C\hat{M}Q.

Also,

\rm \angle B\hat{P}M = 90^{\circ} - \angle B\hat{M}P in right triangle PBM.

Thus \rm \angle{P\hat{B}M} = \angle C\hat{M}Q.

Additionally \rm \angle \hat{B} = 90^{\circ} = \angle \hat{C}.

Therefore \rm \triangle PBM \sim \triangle MCQ.

\rm \displaystyle BC = 2\;MC for M is the midpoint of segment BC.

\rm \displaystyle PB = \frac{4}{3}BC = \frac{8}{3}MC.

\rm \triangle PBM \sim \triangle MCQ implies that

\displaystyle \rm PM:MQ = PB:MC = 1:\frac{8}{3} = 8:3.

Crazy boy [7]
The statistic about college graduates which is not true is that C. they can earn nearly double the income of high school graduates.
They cannot earn that much really - even though they have a college degree, there are many jobs that don't require a degree which also pay a lot.
