Hello there! Your answer would be: B. 3/4!

To solve this equation, you need to simplify the other fractions to start:

12/24 = 1/2

3/4 = 3/4

15/24 = 5/8

4/12 = 1/3

Looking at our options, we can straight away eliminate A and D. This is because 5/8 is greater then 4/8 (and 4/8 = 1/2), and 1/3 and 1/2 are both equal to and below 1/2.

Now, we have 5/8 and 3/4. Since the question is asking which is greater, we can eliminate 5/8, since it has the same value.

Now we have 3/4 left, which is your correct answer, but if you wanted to check it you could always multiply the numerator and denominator by 2/2. you get 6/8, which is in fact greater than 5/8.

Hope this helps, have a great day!

Step-by-step explanation:

180° = m<A + m<B + m<C

180° = 45° +60° + m<C

180° = 105° + m<C

m<C = 180° - 105 °

m<C = 75°

The table shows the ratio of caramel corn to cheddar corn in a bag. What is the constant of proportionality?

Anit [1.1K]

For proportionality constant problems, set up the equation as,

$x=Ky$ ,

Where x and y are the two variables you are comparing and K is the proportionality constant. If we take Caramel Corn values as x and Cheddar Corn values as y, and then solve for K for each ratio lines, we will get the same answer. Let's check.

$15=K(10)\\K=\frac{15}{10}= \frac{3}{2}$ ,
