First let's make the denominators of the fractions equal.
To do this, we have to find a number which both 5 and 7 divide into.
The smallest number that does this is 35.

2  --> Multiply the numerator by 7
--   
5  --> Multiply the denominator by 7 to get 35

= 14/35

1 --> Multiply the numerator by 5
--
7 --> Multiply the denominator by 5 to get 35

= 5/35

Joe has eaten 14/35 and James has eaten 5/35.
14 / 5 = 2.8

<u>Joe has eaten 2.8 (or 2 4/5) times more pizza than James.</u>

Answer:

x= 1/20

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/2x = -10

multiply by 2x on each side

2x(-1/2x) = -10*2x

-1 = -20x

divide by -20

-1/-20 = -20x/-20

1/20 =x

5/13

The x value is negative (second quadrant). 13 is the hypotenuse. So the missing side is 13^2 = (-12)^2 + y^2.

Sin theta is the opposite (5) over hypotenuse (13).

Which statement is generally true about retirement?
nexus9112 [7]

The general statement that is true about retirement is <em>B. your </em><em>income </em><em>will decrease, while your </em><em>expenses </em><em>will increase.</em>

Retirement is the leaving of one's of occupation. This means you cease to be involved in active service in a job or occupation especially when one is considered old and of retirement age.

During retirement, retirement benefits and pension are usually made available to retirees. However, one's income will come to a decline which makes most people scared of retirement. Keeping up with the standard of living they are used to becomes difficult as income to sustain such may not be available.

Therefore, the general statement that is true about retirement is <em>B. your </em><em>income </em><em>will decrease, while your </em><em>expenses </em><em>will increase.</em>
