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
Answer:
63
Step-by-step explanation:
John's percentage:
36 and 48 have a common factor of 12 so divide both of them by 12.
36/12= 3 and 48/12=4 therefore
so 36/48= 3/4 which is 75% but we don't need to focus on the percent.
Don's no. of shirts:
we know Don has 84 shirts so we say
3/4 of 84= no. of shirts that Don put in his closet
84/4=21 21x3=63
Don put 63 shirts in his closet.
Hope that helped! Anymore questions just ask! :)
