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:
<span>35/50 >= 3/4
</span>7/10 <span>>= 3/4
</span>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 <span>>= 3/4
</span>(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,
<span>35/50 >= 3/4
</span>does not hold either, therefore the Constitution cannot be ammended

No it can not be amended. 3/4 of 50 equals 37.5. While yes, you can not count a half of a person, 35 doesn't even equal 37. So you're still stuck with the answer of no.

Segment MN has endpoints at M(-5, 4) and N(7, -5). What is the midpoint of MN???? PLZ HELP
Paha777 [63]
Theres a formula to find the midpoint it’s... (x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2. You fill in the x’s and y’s to get (-5+7)/2 for x, which equals 1 and (4-5)/2 to get -0.5. (1, -0.5) is your answer
