It would be a fraction with the same denominator but different numerator so you could compare the two.
Well, there are 3 feet in 1 yard, and 1.09 yards in 1 meter, so then

notice, we use the ratio, and whichever unit you want cancelled, you simply flip the ratio to have it cancelled, if the "m" is atop and you need that cancel, use the ratio with the "m" at the bottom, m/m = 1, and so they cancel out, and so on.
Answer:
x=6 , y=17
Step-by-step explanation
3x-1=2x+5
+1 -2x
x=6
plug in 6 for x to solve y
We will use the Pythagorean theorem:
8² + 12² = c²
64 + 144 = c²
c = √208 ≈ 14.42
14.42 - 12 = 2.42 in
The direct distance between the lizard and the cactus is 2.42 inches.
