3. in class today, 1/4 of the students wore shorts and
3/12 of the students wore jeans. which statement
correctly compares the fractions?
a. 1/4 = 3/12
b. 1/4 > 3/12
c. 3/12 < 1/4
d. 1/4 < 3/12

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a case of equivalent fractions  which means that the fractions represent the same amount.

Why are they the same?  Because when you multiply or divide the same number up and down simultaneously, the fraction maintains its value. The rule to remember is:

What you do to the top of the fraction

you also have to do it to the bottom part!

Therefore, these fractions are actually the same:

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1

6,250

step-by-step explanation:

to get the area, multiply 360 by 160.(57,600)

to find out how many bags of fertilizer it will take, first figure out how many square feet one bag can hold. divide 1000 by 8(125) to get the unit rate(how many square feet one pound of fertilizer can hold)and multiply it by 50(6250). if i haven't made a mistake, that is the answer.
