Complete Question

Colleen compared the ratios 3:8 and 1/2.

Her work is shown below.

Write the ratios as fractions: 3/8 and 1/8 Compare the numerators: 3 > 1 Write the correct statement: 3/8 > 1/2

Where did Colleen make her first mistake?

A. The common denominator should be 4 rather than 8

B. The numerators are compared incorrectly.

C. The fraction 1/2 should have been rewritten as 6/8

D. The fraction 1/2 should have been rewritten as 4/8.

Answer:

D. The fraction 1/2 should have been rewritten as 4/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Colleen compared the ratios 3:8 and 1/2.

Step 1

Write the ratios as fractions: 3/8 and 1/2

Step 2

Compare the numerators: 3 > 1

Step 3

Compare the denominators 8 >2

Write the correct statement:

3/8 > 4/8

Therefore, D. The fraction 1/2 should have been rewritten as 4/8.

2. The larger circle of an annulus has a diameter of 10 cm, and the smaller circle has a diameter of 7.6 cm. What is the area of
Alik [6]

Answer:

Area = 3.77 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram using the given statement is attached below

Diameter of larger circle is 10 so radius R1 = 10/2= 5

diameter of smaller circle is 7.6, radius (r1)= 3.8

We need to find the area of the shaded region

Area of the circle =\pi r^2

Area of annulus =\pi R1-\pi r1

=\pi (5)-\pi (3.8)

Area = 3.77 cm^2

Help me find like terms, (multiple choice).
vichka [17]

Answer:

Like terms:

\frac{1}{2}x^{2}

1.25x²

-8x²

Step-by-step explanation:

Like terms are terms that have the same variable to the same exponent.  In this case, the only like terms are those with the variable 'x' to the exponent of '2', or x².  This would include the terms:

\frac{1}{2}x^{2}

1.25x²

-8x²

The term 5yx², also includes x², however, it also includes the variable 'y' which makes it 'unlike' the other terms.

-2x + 3y - 4 =0<br> Find the x-intercept and y-intercept of the line
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x-intercept, set y = 0 and solve for x.

-2x + 3y - 4 = 0

-2x + 3(0) - 4 = 0

-2x + 0 - 4 = 0

-2x - 4 = 0

-2x = 4

 x =  4/-2

  x = -2                    The x-intercept is -2

To find the y-intercept, set x = 0 and solve for y.

-2x + 3y - 4 = 0

-2(0) + 3y - 4 = 0

0 + 3y - 4 = 0

     3y - 4 = 0

     3y = 4

       y = 4/3           The y-intercept is 4/3
