The correct answer is A. Given the boot—A shoemaker would work on boots

Explanation:

A pun refers to a humoristic, concise phrase or sentence that is created based on a word that has multiple meanings, words that sound similar or words that are closely related to others. In the case of the sentence "The shoemaker's assistant was given the boot when he was discovered stealing leather" the use of the word "boot" creates a pun because in this case the word "boot" means being fired but it is also a type of shoes which is ironic because the shoemaker's assistant probably worked with boots. This implies, the sentence that explains this pun is "Given the boot—A shoemaker would work on boots".

Help with 14? plz thx for your help
Sphinxa [80]
Since you already changed the fractions into decimals, it will be easier to change it into fraction with the denominator of 100 or 1000.

All you have to do is move the decimals to the right in order to find the denominator.

14a) 50/100 OR 51/100  the bigger number would be 51/100 or 0.51

14b) 80/100 or 85/100 the bigger is 85/100 or 0.85

14c) 750/1000 or 734/1000 the bigger number is 750/1000 or 3/4.

Hope this helps.
