Which of the following best explains whether 1/2 or 1 is the better estimate of 36/40 ? a. 20/40 = 1/2 and 40/40 = 1 . since 36 is less than 40, 36/40 is closer to 1/2 than it is to 1. b. 20/40 = 1/2 and 40/40 = 1 . since 36 is closer to 20 than it is to 40, 36/40 is closer to 1/2 than it is to 1. c. 20/40 = 1/2 and 40/40 = 1 . since 36 is exactly halfway between 20 and 40, 36/40 is as close to 1/2 as it is to 1. d. 20/40 = 1/2 and 40/40 = 1 . since 36 is closer to 40 than it is to 20, 36/40 is closer to 1 than it is to 1/2 .

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
