Answer:

Option A. 17.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is given that stems are in whole percent and leaves are tenths of percent which means if we take the first steam value of 5 7;

it means that 5 is whole percent and 7 will be written as  \frac{7}{10} = 0.7 percent which as a whole indicate that the first stem leaf represent 5.7% of residents aged 65 and over.

Now the highest percent of older residents for Florida will be the last stem leaf in the data given as 17 + 0.6 will represent 17.6% which is the highest among all others.

5.7% is the lowest of them all and there is no value as of 176% in the given stem leaf plot data.

Therefore option A id correct with 17.6% percent as of Florida.

Find 3 fractions that are equivalent to 3/8. explain your method
Nikolay [14]
Hey Aarya!

If we `scale` both the numerator and denominator by the same value, then we can create other equivalent fractions. By scale I mean: Multiply both the top and bottom of the fraction by the same value.

So here is one we can try.
Let's multiply numerator and denominator by 3.
\rm \frac38\cdot\frac33=\frac9{24}
Yay we did it! We found another fraction which is equivalent to 3/8.

Given: MNFD is a trapezoid.
Rama09 [41]
A trapezoid with legs MN = FD is an isosceles trapezoid.
An isosceles trapezoid has diagonals that are congruent, therefore: MF = ND.
A quadrilateral with diagonals congruent and perpendicular is a square.
In a square, the height coincides with the side.
The area of a square is given by A = s²
Therefore, the area of MNFD is h²
