In order to figure out whether Luis or Isabella skates farther to get to school, we have to create a common denominator between the two fractions that represent the distance that each person walks.
The least common denominator of 3 and 4 is 12. This means that we have to change both fractions into equal fractions with denominators of 12.
To figure this out, we must set up a proportion.
2/3 = x/12
To solve this proportion, we must cross-multiply the fractions. We get:
24 = 3x
If we divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 3, to get the variable x alone, we get:
x = 8
Therefore, 2/3 = 8/12, so Luis skates 8/12 mile from his home to school.
If we do the same process for the 2/4 mile to get to school for Isabella, we get 6/12, because both fractions are equal to 1/2.
Therefore, we know that Luis skates 8/12 mile to school and Isabella skates 6/12 mile to get to school. Because they have the same denominator, we can just compare the numerators. We know that 8 is greater than 6, thus Luis skates farther to get to school.

im also doing this so the guy under me can get brainliest :P
The answer is c=5 hope this helps
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, we will need to calculate the slope of the line formed by joining the coordinates.
The slope of that line would be : m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
= (5 - 1)/(4 - 2) = 4/2 = 2
The slope of the line joining the coordinates is 2. Since the other line is parallel to this, it simply means the slope of the second line is 2. This is because of two lines are parallel, they will have the same slope.
