Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
To compare the two, get the same denominator, so multiply -8/18 by 27 on the numerator and denominator, and multiply -17/27 by 18 on the numerator and denominator. That gives -216 /486 and -306 /486. On a number line, the one on the left is less. That greater than symbol is correct. Both to the left of 0, -8/18 on the right of -17/27.
The contrapositive statement is "If we go swimming, then there is no lightning storm"
<h3>What is a contra positive statement?</h3>
A contrapositive statement is a proposition or theorem formed by contradicting both the subject and predicate or both the conclusion and hypothesis of a given proposition or theorem and interchanging them.
Example : "if not-B then not-A " is the contra positive of "if A then B "
Given the statement;
“if there is a lightning storm then we won’t go swimming”
The contra positive statement is;
"If we go swimming, then there is no lightning storm"
Thus, the contrapositive statement is "If we go swimming, then there is no lightning storm"

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
a) See Discussion below
b) Don't know what "m" refers to
Discussion:
Part a)
A triangle contains 180 degrees.
A + B + C = 180 (*)
where A is the angle inside the triangle.
From the diagram
B +C = 62 + 78 = 140
Substituting this in (*) gives
A + (140) = 180 => subtract 140 from both sides
A = 180 - 140 = 40
Now a line has 180 degrees so x + A = 180. But A = 40 (shown above) so x+ 40 = 180, or x = 140. That is, x = 140 - the sum of the measures of the two nonadjacent interior angles
Part b)
I can't answer this part is it is unclear what "m" refers to. Sorry.
Thank you,
MrB
-4 is greater than - 10 because -4 is closer to 0 than -10 is
