Answer this question only if you know the 39 points and brainliest!

No, just because the amount of recylcing has gone up this year does not mean that we can conclude it's more this year than ever before. We are only given information for this year and last year, we can't come to that conclusion unless we are given information about the amount of recyling done in all the years.

I reject this conclusion because it says that the people have recycled more this year than ever before.

Generally ever before mean since a long time ago and from the data given we only have recording of last year, not any year before that. If the conclusion had said that the people in mesopotamiaville are recycling more this year than last year. It would have been correct but instead it has given us an invalid conclusion because from the data we have been given we can not possibly gather any other information that can help us accept or reject the conclusion. So therefore the conclusion given is invalid. Hence the reason I reject this conclusion.

hope this helps

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
