The answer to the question
Answer:
A. 26 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
change denominator so they can be the same
3/4*3 = 9/12
1/3*4 = 4/12
Add the whole numbers : 10 +15=25
9/12+4/12= 13/12 so 1 1/12
26 1/12
X difference: 7-2 = 5
y difference: 11-10 = 1
Add up those results: 5+1 = 6
Answer Is 6
To answer the question we need to know if 35 out of 50 states is equal or greater than 3/4 if that is the case, the Constitution will be ammended, and that is represented like this:
35/50 >= 3/4
that inequality is saying that 35 states out of 50 is equal or greater than 3/4, lets simplify and modify the fractions to compare easily:
<span>35/50 >= 3/4
</span>7/10 <span>>= 3/4
</span>now we need to find the least common multiplier of 10 and 4 to take the fractions to a common denominator and compare easy. Lets multiply numerator and denominator for a correct number to get the fractions to denominator common 20, the lcm:
7/10 <span>>= 3/4
</span>(2/2)(7/10) >= (5/5)(3/4)
2*7/2*10 >= 5*3/5*4
14/20 >= 15/20
we can see that the inequality does not hold, so,
<span>35/50 >= 3/4
</span>does not hold either, therefore the Constitution cannot be ammended
