PLZ HELP WITH ALL!! Thanks.

Answer 1

First problem: his claim is sometimes true, and only if m is less than 5.  If m is greater than 5, the answer is positive.

Second problem: his claim is always true. the negative p and the positive p always cancel each other out

17.  A and F are correct
18. set up as a ratio problem:  .5/12 = 16/x
then cross multiple and solve for x:  .5x=12 x 16
                                                          x = 384 muffins.  Now divide by 12 to get how many batches of 12 you can make:  your answer is 32 batches of 12 muffins.
