The easiest way to solve this comparison without any unusual comparisons is to find a common denominator for the two fractions.
2/5 = 18/45
4/9 = 20/45
Since 20/45 is bigger than 18/45, we know that 4/9 is greater than 2/5
m+f=38
(f-4)^2=m-4
f^2=m IF their age is 30 combined
4^2=16
16=16
Fred is 4, Mabel is 16.
Based on the subtraction property of equality: C. Correct. Jen could have also subtracted 100 from both sides and then divide both sides by -1/2.
<h3>What is the Subtraction Property of Equality?</h3>
In order to balance both sides of an equation, we can subtract same value from both sides by subtracting a value from both sides based on the subtraction property of equality. Same applies to other operations.
To balance both sides of the equation, 100 needs to be subtracted from the equation given. This means Jen was correct.
If she also divide both sides by -1/2, she would get same result as when she multiplies both sides by -2.
The correct description of the accuracy of her work is: C. Correct. Jen could have also subtracted 100 from both sides and then divide both sides by -1/2.
