3/5 of the visitors to the museum come during the week, and 4/10 come during the weekend. When does the museum get more visitors, during the week or during the weekend.

We know that 3/5 of the visitors to the museum come during the week, and that 4/10 come during the weekend. Since we want to know when the museum  gets more visitors, we need to compare 3/5 to 4/10.

Notice that 3/5 and 4/10 are unlike fractions so our first step is to find a common denominator. The common denominator of 5 and 10 is the least common multiple of 5 and 10 or 10.

To get a denominator of 10 for our first fraction 3/5, we must multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2 to get 6/10.

Notice that 4/10 already has 10 in the denominator so it stays the same. Now we have like fractions. To compare like fractions, we simply compare the numerators or the top numbers. Since 6 is greater than 4, we know that 6/10 must be greater than 4/10. Since 6/10 represents the number of visitors that come to the museum during the week, we know that the museum gets more visitors during the week.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.

the answer is b: 18

step-by-step explanation:

use the pythagorean theorem to .

a^2+b^2=c^2

plug 18 for "r"

the 2 legs are 18 and 24

18^2+24^2=c^2

324+576=c^2

900=c^2

c=30

30-12=18

18 is the radius
