Answer:

1. Dexter = 11:5  Lena = 9:4

2. Dexter = \frac{11}{5}  Lena = \frac{9}{4}

3. Dexter = \frac{44}{20}   Lena = \frac{45}{20}

4. \frac{45}{20} > \frac{44}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Dexter

Science\ Fiction = 11

History = 5

Lena

Science\ Fiction = 9

History = 4

Solving (1): Write as ratio

Represent Science Fiction with S and History with H

For Dexter;

Ratio = S : H

Dexter = 11:5

Lena = 9:4

Solving (2): Write ratio as fraction

Fraction = \frac{S}{H}

Dexter = \frac{11}{5}

Lena = \frac{9}{4}

Solving (3): Write as a common denominator

Dexter = \frac{11}{5}

Multiply by \frac{4}{4}

Dexter = \frac{11}{5} * \frac{4}{4}

Dexter = \frac{44}{20}

Lena = \frac{9}{4}

Multiply by \frac{5}{5}

Lena = \frac{9}{4} * \frac{5}{5}

Lena = \frac{45}{20}

Solving (4): Compare both fractions

By comparison;

\frac{45}{20} is greater than \frac{44}{20}

So, we have:

\frac{45}{20} > \frac{44}{20}

Vikki [24]

Each of the pairs of the opposite angles made by two intersecting lines are called vertical angles. The correct option is A.

<h3>What are vertical angles?</h3>

Each of the pairs of the opposite angles made by two intersecting lines are called vertical angles.

The proof can be completed as,
Given the information in the figure where segment UV is parallel to segment WZ.: Segments UV and WZ are parallel segments that intersect with line ST at points Q and R, respectively. According to the given information, segment UV is parallel to segment WZ, while ∠SQU and ∠VQT are vertical angles. ∠SQU ≅ ∠VQT by the Vertical Angles Theorem. Because ∠SQU and ∠WRS are corresponding angles, they are congruent according to the Corresponding Angles Theorem. Finally, ∠VQT is congruent to ∠WRS by the Transitive Property of Equality.

Hence, the correct option is A.

Maggie sells homemade cookies. on a dozen cookies she spend 0.50 on flour, 0.70 on sugar, 0.40 on eggs,and 0.40 on packaging if
Art [367]

Using the profit concept, it is found that she makes a profit of $4 selling a dozen cookies for six dollars.

<h3>What is a profit?</h3>


The profit is given by the <u>subtraction of the revenue by the total costs</u>.

In this problem:

  • For the dozen cookies, she earned a revenue of 6 dollars.
  • In all, the total cost of the 12 cookies was of 0.5 + 0.7 + 0.4 + 0.4 = 2 dollars.

6 - 2 = 4, hence she makes a profit of $4.

1/2 ln(x + 3) - lnx = 0 solve for x
rusak2 [61]
1

 

Simplify \frac{1}{2}\imath n(x+3)​2​​1​​ın(x+3) to \frac{\imath n(x+3)}{2}​2​​ın(x+3)​​

\frac{\imath n(x+3)}{2}-\imath nx=0​2​​ın(x+3)​​−ınx=0


2

 

Add \imath nxınx to both sides

\frac{\imath n(x+3)}{2}=\imath nx​2​​ın(x+3)​​=ınx


3

 

Multiply both sides by 22

\imath n(x+3)=\imath nx\times 2ın(x+3)=ınx×2


4

 

Regroup terms

\imath n(x+3)=nx\times 2\imathın(x+3)=nx×2ı


5

 

Cancel \imathı on both sides

n(x+3)=nx\times 2n(x+3)=nx×2


6

 

Divide both sides by nn

x+3=\frac{nx\times 2}{n}x+3=​n​​nx×2​​


7

 

Subtract 33 from both sides

x=\frac{nx\times 2}{n}-3x=​n​​nx×2​​−3
