Answer:

A. “However, notwithstanding all that has been done and written against it, that brutish barbarity, and unparalelled injustice, is still carried on to a very great extent in the colonies, and with an avidity as insidious, cruel and oppressive as ever.”

Explanation:

Ottobah Cugoano's "Thoughts and Sentiments on the Evil of Slavery" provides a personal take on the issue of slavery and how evil of a practice it is for African Americans. At the same time, he also asserted that slaves had the right to rebel against their masters for the treatment they were put under.

One explicit statement that reveals the author's beliefs about the slavery system is <em>"However, notwithstanding all that has been done and written against it, that brutish barbarity, and unparalelled injustice, is still carried on to a very great extent in the colonies, and with an avidity as insidious, cruel and oppressive as ever."</em> Through these lines, Cugoano labels slavery as<em> "brutish barbarity, and an unparallelled injustice ... insidious, cruel and oppressive..."</em>

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Slade draws triangle PQR. He then constructs a perpendicular bisector from vertex P that intersects side QR at point T. What can

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

QT = RT

Step-by-step explanation:

When drawing triangle PQR the perpendicular bisector cuts the triangle in half, which results in two sides that are congruent. This makes QT and RT congruent.

What is 3 1/2 - 2 5/7 and show the work

Hunter-Best [27]

$3 \frac{1}{2} -2 \frac{5}{7} = \frac{(3\cdot2)+1}{2} - \frac{(2\cdot7)+5}{7} = \frac{7}{2} - \frac{19}{7} \\\\= \frac{7\times 7}{2\times 7} - \frac{19\times 2}{7\times 2} = \frac{49}{14} - \frac{38}{14} \\\\= \frac{49-38}{14} =\boxed{\bf{\frac{11}{14}}}$

<h3>Answer: 5 cakes</h3>

================================================

Explanation:

Let's start off converting the mixed number 12 & 1/4 to an improper fraction.

$a \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a*c+b}{c}\\\\12 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{12*4+1}{4}\\\\12 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{49}{4}\\\\$

Do the same for the other mixed number 2 & 1/3.

$a \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a*c+b}{c}\\\\2 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2*3+1}{3}\\\\2 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{7}{3}\\\\$

-----------------------

From here, we divide the two fractions. I converted them to improper fractions to make the division process easier.

$\frac{49}{4} \div \frac{7}{3} = \frac{49}{4} \times \frac{3}{7}\\\\\frac{49}{4} \div \frac{7}{3} = \frac{49\times 3}{4\times 7}\\\\\frac{49}{4} \div \frac{7}{3} = \frac{7\times 7\times 3}{4\times 7}\\\\\frac{49}{4} \div \frac{7}{3} = \frac{7\times 3}{4}\\\\\frac{49}{4} \div \frac{7}{3} = \frac{21}{4}\\\\$

The last step is to convert that result to a mixed number.

$\frac{21}{4} = \frac{4*5+1}{4}\\\\\frac{21}{4} = \frac{4*5}{4}+\frac{1}{4}\\\\\frac{21}{4} = 4+\frac{1}{4}\\\\\frac{21}{4} = 5 \frac{1}{4}\\\\$

Note that 21/4 = 5.25 and 1/4 = 0.25 to help check the answer.

-----------------------

Therefore, she can make 5 cakes. The fractional portion 1/4 is ignored since we're only considering whole cakes rather than partial ones.
