Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

(3/8) / (5/9) is the same as multiplying (3/8) by (9/5) which is 27/40. I'm not sure if there's an error between C and D because those are both the same answer since dividing a negative number by a negative number gives you a positive number.

I think C was supposed to be -27/40 so D is the correct answer since it's positive.

Find two consecutive even numbers such that the difference of one-half the larger and two-fifths the smaller is equal to 38

expeople1 [14]

EXPLANATION

The consecutive even numbers are
$370 \: and \: 372$

EXPLANATION

Let
$x$
be the first even number then, the next even number will be,

$x + 2$

The difference of one-half the larger one and two-fifth the smaller one is 38 gives the equation,

$\frac{1}{2} (x + 2) - \frac{2}{5} x = 38$

We multiply through with an LCM of 10 to get,

$10 \times \frac{1}{2} (x + 2) - 10 \times \frac{2}{5} x = 38 \times 10$

This simplifies to,

$5(x + 2) - 4x = 380$

We expand the brackets to get,

$5x + 10 - 4x = 380$

We group like terms to get,

$5x - 4x = 380 - 10$

This simplifies to
$x = 370$

Therefore the next even number is is
$372$
