The lowest elevation in Nevada is about 65 meters below sea level. The lowest elevation in
Florida is about 2/5the value of the lowest
elevation in Nevada. Which value best represents
the lowest elevation, in meters, in Florida?

-26 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

first do 65/5 because it is asking how much less  florida´s elevation is than nevada´s. and because it is a fraction you do it divided by 5.

65/5=13

so now because the fraction was 2/5 do 13+13

you get 26. so florida´s lowest point is -26 meters.

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b

explanation:

previous steps have made pa≅ pb ≅ st ≅ su. setting the compass width to ab allows you to make tu the same length. then δstu ≅ δpab by the sss congruence postulate, and ∠p ≅ ∠s by the reason cpctc.
