Answer:

Just because Michelle checked out 20% of her borrowed books were fictions does not mean Michael had more books. For example, Michelle could have borrowed 100 books, which would result into her borrowing 20 fiction books while Michael could have borrowed just 1 fiction book with a 100% of his borrowed books being a fiction book.

Step-by-step explanation:

Just because Michelle checked out 20% of her borrowed books were fictions does not mean Michael had more books. For example, Michelle could have borrowed 100 books, which would result into her borrowing 20 fiction books while Michael could have borrowed just 1 fiction book with a 100% of his borrowed books being a fiction book.

In other words, percentage is just the simplied ratio of something. Percentage cannot account for the original value and its original value cannot be assumed that it is small just because the percentage is small.

Consider this equation.
mina [271]

Answer:

No, Mia is not correct, the answer is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we are going to use the distributive Property.

Step 1: 2(0.75+0.4). multiply the 2 out. .75m x 2=1.5m and 2 x .4= .8.

We get 1.5m+.8, so 2(0.75+0.4)=1.5m+.8

Now we are going to distribute on the oher side. 4(.5m-.8)

4x .5m=2m and 4x.8=3.2. Keep the sign the same and we get 2m-3.2, so 4(.5m-.8)=2m-3.2

We put this into the new equation to get 1.5m+.8+7.8=-6.4m+2m-3.2

Step 2: combine like terms

.8+7.8= 8.6 and -6.4m +2m =-4.4m

Plug that into our equation and we get 1.5mn+8.6=-4.4m-3.2

Step 3: Switch the sides

Bring -4.4m to the other side to get 1.5m+4.4m=5.9m

One side is 5.9m

We bring 8.6 to the other side to get -8.6. now we do -3.2-8.6=-11.8.

Our new equation is 5.9m=-11.8

divide by 5.9 on both sides to get our answer of

m=-2

Circle 1 is centered at (−4, 5) and has a radius of 2 centimeters. Circle 2 is centered at (2, 1) and has a radius of 6 centimet
IgorC [24]
Basically, you have two circles. You are asked to take circle 1 and "move it" so that it is on top of circle 2. This process of moving is called a translation and can be thought of as sliding. You do this by ensuring that the two have the same center. So, starting at (-4,5) how do you have to move to end up at (2,1)?

To do this we need to move right 6 as the x-coordinate goes from -4 to 2. We also need to move down 4 as the y-coordinate goes from 5 to 1. So we add 6 to the x-coordinate and subtract 4 from the y-coordinate. The transformation rule is (x+6, y-4).

Once you do this the circles have the same center. Next you wish to dilate circle 1 so it ends up being the same size at circle 2. That means you stretch it out in such a way that it keeps its shape. Circle 1 has a radius of 2 centimeters and circle 2 has a radius of 6 centimeters. That is 3x bigger. So we dilate by a factor of 3.

Translations and dilations (along with reflections and rotations) belong to a group known as transformations.
