I have another set of choices here:
A. {0.5, 1, 2}
B. {1, 2, 4}
C. {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
<span>D. {0}
</span>
If you multiply two numbers from a closed set the answer is in the set.
<span>So A is not closed because 2 x 2 = 4 which isn't in the set. Only 0.5, 1, and 2 are in set A. </span>
<span>Try multiplying the largest numbers in sets B, C, and D by themselves. You will soon discover the closed set.</span>
People in building ---- x (men, women and children)
children --- y
men + women + children = x
(3/7)x + (5/8)(4/7)x + y = x
3x/7 + 5x/14 + y = x
times 14
6x + 5x + 14y = 14x
14y = 3x
y + 220 =x
sub into the other one
14y = 3(y+220)
11y = 660
y = 60
then 14(60) = 3x ---> x = 280
So we have 280 people in the building.
check: 3/7 of 280 are men = 120
leaving 160 women and children
5/8 of these ot 100 are women
so we have 120 men, 100 women and 60 children!
hope this is right! have a great. day

think of this as the middle.
3 to the left to get to 3
And
3 to the right to get 9
One of the fractions that’s equal to
is 
<u>Solution:</u>
Given that , we have to find fractions which has the same value as that of the fraction
Now, we know that, there are several fractions with values equal to
To find them, just multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number.

Therefore,
is equal to 
We can do the same with 4, to get
, or any other number beyond that.
Hence, one of the fractions that’s equal to
is
