Answer:

-3/8(-0.375)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) I like to convert my fractions to decimals when comparing

-2/3=-0.667

-3/8=-0.375

when dealing with negatives, the greater negative is the one closer to 0

In our case its -0.375(-3/8) as -0.375 is closer to 0 compared to -0.667

hope this helps!

what number must be added to 3 and 8 so that the ratio of the first number to the second number is equal to 3 :4

Grace [21]

The answer is 12.
Steps
If that number is x
(3+x)/(8+x)=3/4
"Cross multply"
4(3+x)=3(8+x)
12+4x=24+3x
x=12
To check: add 12 to 3 and 8. 3+12=15 and 8+12=20. 15/20=3/4

find the perimeter and diagonal of a square whose area is equal to the area of a rectangle whose length is 9m and breadth is 4m

aalyn [17]

$Area\ of\ a\ rectangle:A_{\fbox{ }}=9m\times4m=36m^2\\\\a-side\ of\ a\ square\\\\Area\ of\ a\ square:A_{\fbox{}}=a^2\\\\A_{\fbox{ }}=A_{\fbox{}}\Rightarrow a^2=36m^2\Rightarrow a=\sqrt{36m^2}\Rightarrow a=6m\\\\Perimeter\ of\ the\ square:P=4a\Rightarrow P=4\times6m=\boxed{24m}\\\\Diagonal\ of\ the\ square:d=a\sqrt2\Rightarrow d=\boxed{6\sqrt2\ m}$

4. The cost of a new house is being reduced 22%

olganol [36]

1. Ok so first I would find 22% of 212,000 to do that you do: 22 divide 100 = 0.22

2. Now that you’ve turned 22% into a decimal as 0.22 you find what 22% of 212,000 is like so: 0.22x212,000 =46,640

3. Now that you have to reduce 212,000 but 22% to do this you just subtract: 212,000-46,640= 165,360

They would purchase the house for $165,360
