Answer:

7/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparison of these three fractions is easier if you convert them so that all have the same denominator.

"Closer to 1/2 than to 1" implies that the fraction chosen lies between 1/2 and 3/4, that is, between 0.500 and 0.750.

7/8 = 0.875 must be rejected.  It does not satisfy this criterion.  0.875 is NOT closer to 1/2 than it is to 1.

10/12 = 0.833 must be rejected for the same reason.

12/14 = 6/7 must be rejected for the same reason

7/10 = 0.700 satisfies the criterion (it lies closer to 1/2 than it does to 1).

Can you help me with this!!!!!!!!!

a. The first variable is x and the second variable is y.

b. The equations are x+y=12 and x-y=8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The first step is to define the variables. The variables can be any two symbols, letters, characters, etc.

Here let the first variable be x and the let the second variable be y.

So the variables are defined as x and y.

Step 2:

The sum of the given variables is 12.

The first variable + the second variable = 12,

x+y=12.

The difference between the two variables is 4.

The first variable - the second variable = 4.

x-y=4.

Step 3:

If we add both the equations we get, 2x =16, x= 8 and y=4.

x = 8 and y = 4.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a square = s²

s is the side length of the square

Given

s = 2^{7 1/2}

s = 2^15/2

Area = ( 2^15/2)²

Area = 2^15
