Answer:

B - 130

both values are equal to 20.8

Step-by-step explanation:

the first step is figuring out what they want you to compare the multiple choice answers to- 13% of 160, which is equal to 20.8 (160*.13)!

so next, we need to take 16% of each of our answers. we can guess at what our answer isn't going to be, specifically that it cannot be 13 since 20.8 is more than 13. We can also guess its not going to be 13,000, since even ten percent of that is about 130. The same logic can be applied to 1300, ten percent of 1300 (ie dividing 1300 by ten) is 130, again too large.

Therefore, by process of elimination we can guess that its likely B.

As for checking: we have our 20.8 to compare to, and 16% of 130 (.16*130) is in fact 20.8.

  1. calculate the value its asking you to compare to- 13% of 160 (or .13 * 160) is 20.8
  2. use process of elimination to eliminate a few answers:
  3. the answer cannot be A because A is already smaller than 20.8
  4. the answer cannot be D because even 10% of D is 1300 (much more than 20.8
  5. the answer cannot be C because 10% of C is 130, more than 20.8
  6. that leaves B as our answer- and lets check

16% of 130, or .16*130 is equal to 20.8

Which lines are parallel if M^4 +M^5? Justify your answer.
Igoryamba
Opposite angles formed by two intersecting lines are equal, so angle 1 is the same as angle 4. That means angle 1 = angle 5 as well. 

<span>When a line intersects two parallel lines, the corresponding angles are equal. That is, if r and s are parallel, then the angles formed when l intersects r are the same s the angles formed when l intersects s. Angle 1 = Angle 5, Angle 2 = Angle 6, and so forth. Since we know angle 1 = angle 5, so from that you can see that r and s are parallel</span>
