0.
1/2 is equivalent to 0.5
1 is equivalent to 1.0
the number of elements in the union of the A sets is:5(30)−rAwhere r is the number of repeats.Likewise the number of elements in the B sets is:3n−rB
Each element in the union (in S) is repeated 10 times in A, which means if x was the real number of elements in A (not counting repeats) then 9 out of those 10 should be thrown away, or 9x. Likewise on the B side, 8x of those elements should be thrown away. so now we have:150−9x=3n−8x⟺150−x=3n⟺50−x3=n
Now, to figure out what x is, we need to use the fact that the union of a group of sets contains every member of each set. if every element in S is repeated 10 times, that means every element in the union of the A's is repeated 10 times. This means that:150 /10=15is the number of elements in the the A's without repeats counted (same for the Bs as well).So now we have:50−15 /3=n⟺n=45
1 of 10 is equivalent to 10% because 1/10 is .10 and .10•100% is 10% so the newspapers advertising is higher
Answer:
Considerations:


Also,

A positive number divided by a positive number results in a positive quotient, and its opposite is always negative.
The fraction
can be described as a positive number divided by a negative number, which always result in a negative quotient.
The fractions have same value, so Liam is correct.
