Two fractions are equivalent if the product of the numerator of the first and the denominator of the second is equal to the product of the numerator of the second and the denominator of the first.
4 x 2 ___ 16 x 0.25
8 is not equal to 4
Thus, they are not equivalent.

Solution:
Matte Satin Glossy Total
Homeowners 0.08 0.20 0.24 0.52
Contractors 0.04 0.26 0.18 0.48
Total 0.12 0.46 0.42 1
Approximately what percentage of contractors prefer the glossy finish?
Answer: Percentage of contractors who prefer the glossy finish is:
or 
Therefore, the option D. 37.5% is correct
Answer:
there is no collision between the particles
Step-by-step explanation:
for the first particle
x1=3sin t, y1 = 2 cos t, 0 ≤ t ≤ 2π
for the second particle
x2 = -3 + cos t, y2 = 1 + sin t, 0 ≤ t ≤ 2π
then for the collision
x1=x2 → 3*sin t = -3 + cos t → sin t= -1 + (cos t)/3→ 1+ sin t = (1/3)cos t
y1=y2 → 1 + sin t = 2 cos t → (1/3)cos t = 2 cos t →(1/3) = 2
since 1/3 ≠ 2 there is no collision between the particles
