Answer:

400 people

Step-by-step explanation:

15 = 12

500 = x

Cross multiply

15x = 12 × 500

Divide both sides by 15

\frac{15x}{15} = \frac{12 * 500}{15}  (* means multiplication if you do not know)

\frac{12 * 500}{15} = 100 × 4= 400 people

Divide 500 by 15 that equals 33.33 then multiply that number by 12 and that equals 399.96 which is then rounded up to 400/500 people prefer eating out rather than cooking at home.

Two parallel lines were cut by a transversal. Which of the following
meriva

Answer:

B. a pair of alternate exterior angles with measures of 130° and 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternate exterior angles formed when two parallel lines are cut across by the same transversal line, are said to be congruent.

Therefore, a pair of alternate exterior angles cannot have different angle measures of 130° and 50°. Rather, both alternate exterior angles should be of equal measure of degree.

All other scenarios are possible result except option B: "a pair of alternate exterior angles with measures of 130° and 50°".
