4¹/₂ × ⁶/₁₇
⁹/₂ × ⁶/₁₇
²⁷/₁₇
1¹⁰/₁₇
The product of 4¹/₂ and ⁶/₁₇ will be smaller than 4¹/₂.
Answer: Option #4: the 0.2 could be changed to 2.
Explanation:
The table is designed to make the concept of percentages more understandable. The table first allocates the total amount of 70 in terms of its "fifths," or 20% parts. Then it expresses these parts in the last row of the table, showing that 20% of 70 is 14 and all the five parts sum up to 70 again.
Now, Mikel is supposed to express 40% of the amount. So she writes (incorrectly): 0.2 * 14. This statement needs to be changed to 2 * 14 (two times 14 = 28), to correspond to 2 times 20%, or 40% of 70.
This is reflected in the last (fourth) option "The 0.2 in the expression could be changed to 2."
Option #3 is incorrect because changing 14 to 70, will result in an incorrect number (2.8).
Options 1 and 2 are similarly incorrect (as can be easily verified)

Step-by-step explanation:
parallel lines will never intersect
Step-by-step explanation:
I don't know if this is the right way to so it, but I would do it like this
since a triangle has 180 degrees, the angles all have to add up to 180
So 180 = a + b + c
we already know a, its 95
So 180 = 95 + b + c
now we know the equation for b, so we'll just put it there instead of the b, and since the angles are the same, we should put it instead of c too
180 = 95 + (4x-15) + (4x-15)
now subtract 95 from both sides
85 = (4x-15) + (4x-15)
add the xs and numbers together
85 = 8x - 30
now add the 30 to both sides
115 = 8x
divide by 8
your x is 14 3/8 or 14.375 or 115/8
that's not your angle, that's your x
