Answer:

$\frac{8}{9}>\frac{4}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Meredith has 8 pens and 9 pencils. Brody has 4 pens and 9 pencils.

We can see that Meredith and Brody has same number of pencils, but Meredith has more pens than Brody.

We can represent the pen to pencils ratio for Meredith and Brody as:

$\text{Meredith's pens to pencils proportion}=\frac{8}{9}$

$\text{Brody's pens to pencils proportion}=\frac{4}{9}$

We can compare the pens and pencils proportions that Meredith and Brody have as:

$\frac{8}{9}>\frac{4}{9}$

Therefore, $\frac{8}{9}>\frac{4}{9}$ is the correct comparison of their ratios of pens to pencils.

I need a step by step explanation on how you solved the equation.

Ghella [55]

Answer: x=3 and y=−2

Step-by-step explanation:

x=−2y−1;4x−4y=20

Step: Solve x=−2y−1 for x:

Step: Substitute−2y−1 for x in 4x−4y=20:

4x−4y=20

4(−2y−1)−4y=20

−12y−4=20(Simplify both sides of the equation)

−12y−4+4=20+4(Add 4 to both sides)

−12y=24

−12y

−12

(Divide both sides by -12)

y=−2

Step: Substitute−2 for y x=−2y−1:

x=−2y−1

x=(−2)(−2)−1

x=3(Simplify both sides of the equation)

what is the distance between the points (4, 5) and (10, 13) on a coordinte plane a. 12 units b. 8 units c. 10 units d. 14 units

qaws [65]

Answer:

<h2>10 units</h2>

Option C is the correct option

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the points be A and B

A ( 4 , 5 ) ------> ( x1 , y1 )

B ( 10 , 13 ) ------> ( x2 , y2 )

Now, let's find the distance between these points:

$\sqrt{ {(x2 - x1)}^{2} + {(y2 - y1)}^{2} }$

plug the values

$= \: \sqrt{(10 - 4) ^{2} + {(13 - 5)}^{2} }$

Calculate the difference

$= \sqrt{ {(6)}^{2} + {(8)}^{2} }$

Evaluate the power

$= \sqrt{36 + 64}$

Add the numbers

$= \sqrt{100}$

Write the number in exponential form with. base of 10

$= \sqrt{ {(10)}^{2} }$

Reduce the index of the radical and exponent with 2

$= 10 \: units$

Hope this helps..

Best regards!!

The Taieri Plain in New Zealand is 6 feet below sea level (or –6 feet). If you are standing 3 feet above sea level, is your elev

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposite numbers are the same distance from 0 on the number line, but in opposite directions. Steps I would follow:

first, check the directions to make sure they are opposite,

then read the digits, or count the tick marks or compare lengths with dividers or ruler or marks on a piece of paper to see if the distances are the same.

3 is not the opposite of -6

Therefore 6 is the opposite of -6
