well, looking at the picture of this vertically opening parabola, it has a vertex at 0,0 and it passes through 2,1 hmm ok

The sum of the numbers is 20 10+10=20 20/2=10
Nope- false
The sum of the square roots of two sides of a _right_ triangle is equal to the hypotenuse.
Answer:
I can explain. The answer is A
Step-by-step explanation:
Think of it this way: when you write a mixed number, the fraction is out of 100. If the denominator is 8, find 1/8 of 100 by doing 100 divided by 1/8. This gives you 12.5. The entire fraction is 2/8, so we need to multiply 12.5 by 2, since it's only 1/8. 12.5 x 2 gives us 25. In the decimal, this would be equal to .25. A is the only answer that represents the mixed number as a decimal correctly.
