To amend U.S. Constitution, 3/4 of the 50 states must approve the amendment. If 35 states approve an amendment, will the Constit

Elodia [21]

To answer the question we need to know if 35 out of 50 states is equal or greater than 3/4 if that is the case, the Constitution will be ammended, and that is represented like this:
35/50 >= 3/4
that inequality is saying that 35 states out of 50 is equal or greater than 3/4, lets simplify and modify the fractions to compare easily:
35/50 >= 3/4
7/10 >= 3/4
now we need to find the least common multiplier of 10 and 4 to take the fractions to a common denominator and compare easy. Lets multiply numerator and denominator for a correct number to get the fractions to denominator common 20, the lcm:
7/10 >= 3/4
(2/2)(7/10) >= (5/5)(3/4)
2*7/2*10 >= 5*3/5*4
14/20 >= 15/20
we can see that the inequality does not hold, so,
35/50 >= 3/4
does not hold either, therefore the Constitution cannot be ammended

A rancher wants to fence in an area of 1000000 square feet in a rectangular field and then divide it in half with a fence down t

frosja888 [35]

The shortest length of the fence used by the rancher in a rectangular field of 1000000 square feet is 4899 ft.

<h3>What is the area of a rectangle?</h3>

The area of a rectangle is a region enclosed in four corners where two opposite sides are equal. The area of the rectangle is mathematically expressed as:

Area of a rectangle = length(x) × breath(y)

1000000 sq.ft = (x) × (y) ---- (1)

However, to determine the fencing, we have:

Length of fencing = 2x + 2y
