(0.5)(–0.5)(3.2)(–7.9)(–2.4)
The expression is
1/4y+3/8
Answer:
NOT proportional
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem:
- Caroline made 14 out of 20 shots
- You made 16 out of 24 shots
We want to see if the fractions of succesfull made shots is proportional or not.
We can do it as follows:
- The fractions of shots made by Caroline is:
We can simplify this fraction by dividing both numerators and denominators by 2; we get:
Which cannot be further simplified.
- Instead, the fractions of shots made by you is:
We can simplify this fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by 8; then we get:
Which cannot be further simplified.
By comparing the two fractions, we notice that they are different: therefore, the two fractions are NOT proportional.
