I think it is .1324 but I need a little more details.
Answer:
C - 19/24
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the fractions and put the denominators into a common factor


Add Numerators Across


Begin by factoring 2 out of 2x^2 - 2x - 12 equals 0:
2(x^2 - x - 6) = 0
2(x - 3)(x + 2) = 0. 2 is never zero, but x-3 and x+2 can each be set = to 0:
This results in x = 3 and x = -2. The equation is true for these two x-values.
4(8+1); Peter is adding one marker to each box so we add 1 to 8 first because of order of operations (PEMDAS). There are 9 markers in each of the four boxes, 9 x 4 is 36 markers total
B - Negotiating.
This is because they are communicating, they haven't yet agreed to anything or committed to the contract as neither parties have signed, thus leading to both C and D to be incorrect.
A, however, is not exactly a term used for this situation - contracting is more of a term used to say someone contracted a disease or the flu or etc.
Therefore, B would be correct as they are indeed negotiating the terms of the contract.
Hope this helps!
