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.

For the following pairs of equations explain why the equations are NOT equivalent.
Serga [27]
If you were to make both x's equivalent, you'd have to multiply the first equation by 2 to get rid of the coefficient, 1/2. However, you'd have to multiply 2 onto -8 as well, therefore the equation would turn into x - 16 = 18. That is not equivalent to x - 8 = 18.

A guy-wire is attached to a pole for support. If the angle of elevation to the pole is 67° and the wire is attached to the groun
vovangra [49]
You have to go at this in a round-about fashion...by finding the length of the leg across from the 67 degree angle.  This is found by using the tangent ratio...Tan(67)=x/137; x=137tan(67) = 322.8. Now you can use this in one of two ways: use Pythagorean's Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse OR you could use the sin67=322.8/x.  Up to you. Either way, make sure you have your calculator in degree mode!
