Katherine's teacher asked Katherine to explain a specific homework problem to her. Teacher: "Katherine, explain to me which number is greater: −4.35 OR −435 , or are they equal?

Katherine: "I think that they are equal."

Teacher: "You do? Why is that?"

Katherine: "It is because if you write −435 as a decimal, it would be −4.35, so they are equal!"

What is wrong with Katherine's statement?

a. State which number is greater. (1 point)

b. State what −4.35 is as a fraction in simplest form. (1 point)

c. Explain how you would help Katherine correct her problem. (3 points)

2.2°  

step-by-step explanation:

let θ = the angle of elevation.

tanθ =77/2020

tanθ = 0.038 12

      θ = tan⁻¹0.038 12

      θ = 2.2°

answer: the sun

explanation:

water cycle describes the evaporation of water from earth's surface, formation of clouds and precipitation water back onto the surface of earth. seventy percent of the earth is covered with water in the form of seas and oceans. the heat of the sun causes the evaporation of water from the surface of the ocean. the water vapors rise and condense to form water droplets. the collection of these water droplets form clouds which rain down again.

the evaporation of the oceans surface water as part of the water cycle is caused by the sun
