Answer:

Shona

Step-by-step explanation:

Both fractions have different denominators. To get a better picture of who ran further, let's have both fractions have the same denominator.

Let's convert the smaller denominator to the bigger one.

In order to do this, we will multiply top and bottom by 3:

$\frac{3}{4} *\frac{3}{3} \\\frac{9}{12}$

Now, we compare the two fractions by seeing which numerator is closer to denominator.

From this comparison, the converted fraction, $\frac{9}{12}$ is closer to 12.

Therefore, Shona ran further.

When looking at expressions like this,, you need to remember that the square root of a negative number does not exist in the set of Real Numbers. This means that there is no way to simplify this expression,, making the correct answer to your question Undefined.

What is the sum of the counting numbers 1 - 40

AVprozaik [17]

Simply it as follows:

1 + 39 = 40
2 + 38 = 40 etc

18 + 22 = 40
19 + 21 = 40

There are 19 of these plus 40 itself . . .therefore 20 of them

20 x 40 = 800

And finally the last number not used, 20

Therefore 800 + 20 = 820

Can someone explain to me how to do this

rusak2 [61]

rank | 1st | 2nd |TOTAL
------|-----+-------|----------
a | 6 +    9 | =15
b | 7 + 3    | =16
c | 9 + 7    | =23
d | 6 + 7    | =22
e | 8 + 1 | =?

If you add the 1st in line a (6) and you add it to the 1st in line b (7) + the 2nd in line b (3) you get 16. Repeat the same logic/pattern to all c,d..
This is the pattern to all this puzzle;

So the before last term is : 9+6+7 = 22
and the last term : 6+8+1 = 15

I don’t understand this and I did take notes on this on the computer but I still don’t understand it.

Answer:

I'[−3, −2], Q'[2, 0], ?'[0, 1], E'[−3, −1]

Step-by-step explanation:

The line of reflection is at y = −2, so looking at the line and where the coordinates of the shape are, you will have this:

I[−3, −2] → I'[−3, −2] (on the line, so it remains the same)

Q[2, −4] → Q'[2, 0]

?[0, −5] → ?'[0, 1]

E[−3, −3] → E'[−3, −1]

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
