Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so basically let's start with a proportion.

x/32 = 11.25/9

Cross multiply:

x * 9 = 32 * 11.25

9x = 32 * 11.25

9x = 360

Solving for variable 'x'.

Divide each side by '9'.

x = 40

I don't know if this is the correct answer, but it was based on my math. I hope this helps!

Answer:

  -a^2 - a + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

You only need to find the products of the first and last terms to determine the correct answer:

  (-a)(a) = -a^2

  (3)(4) = 12

You're looking for an expression with -1 as the leading coefficient and +12 as the constant. There is only one choice like that:

  -a^2 - a + 12

0.15 is bigger, this is because the 0.05 in 0.15 has more value than 0.02 in 0.125, even though it has a third digit.
