139/8 = 17.375 (this is rounded)
135/7 = 19.286 (this is rounded)

so he rode farther on Sunday

135/7 - 139/8 = 107/56 or 1 51/56 miles farther

Answer: Carlos rode further than on Saturday by 107/56 miles.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given Carlos biked on Saturday = 139/8 miles.

He biked on Sunday = 135/7 miles.

Let us find which fraction is greater by finding common denominator.

LCM of 7 and 8 is 56.

Therefore, Common denominator of 139/8 and 135/7 is 56.

Converting each fraction as denominator 56.

139×7/8×7 = 973/56

135×8/7×8 = 1080/56.

We can see that 1080/56 is greater than 973/56.

On subtracting 973/56 from 1080/56, we get

1080/56 - 973/56 = 107/56

<h3>Therefore, Carlos rode further than on Saturday by 107/56 miles.</h3>

Answer:

Option A: $-\frac{4}{3}$ is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Slope of the line = $\frac{3}{4}$

Let,

m be the slope of the line perpendicular to the line with slope $\frac{3}{4}$

We know that,

The product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is equals to -1.

Therefore,

$\frac{3}{4}.m=-1\\$

Multiplying both sides by $\frac{4}{3}$

$\frac{4}{3}*\frac{3}{4}m=-1*\frac{4}{3}\\$

m = $-\frac{4}{3}$

$-\frac{4}{3}$ is the slope of the line perpendicular to the line having slope $\frac{3}{4}$

Hence,

Option A: $-\frac{4}{3}$ is the correct answer.
