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
53 1/10 is the mixed number
13/35 because you have to find the common denominator which would be 35 and in order to get 7 to 35 you have to multiply the whole thing by 5 making the fraction equal 15/35 and you have to multiply the other fraction by 7 making it 7/35 add the two together which would equal 22/35 so to make that 35/35 it would have to be 13/35
The answer is D <span>(1, 3) and (2, 6) 1*6=6 3*2=6

X% of y
x%=x/100
'of' means multiply
x% of y=x/100 times y so
48% of 8=48/100 times 8=384/100=3.84
3% of 119=3/100 times 119=357/100=3.57
26% of 280=26/100 times 280=7280/100=72.8
