Brent is making lasagna for Tim and sandy. Brent wants each person to pick out a share of the lasagna. Tim thinks if he takes one half of the lasagna he will have the largest share. Sandy thinks if she takes two sixths of the lasagna she will have the largest share. Who is correct. Use numbers and symbols to support your answer.

Tim is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tim is very simple , he wants 1/2 of the food.

Sandy wants 2/6 of the food, simplifying this to 1/3 to make the tops of both fractions line up.

1/2>1/3

Tim is correct as he has the larger piece

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.

he goes on to say that, as a result, people should live true to their own internal laws regarding right and wrong, as a product of reflection and a moral life, rather than following every law that society imposes.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
