Answer:

5.12 in. by 7.68 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

In similar triangles, the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides are equal.

width of medium triangle = 4/5 width of large triangle

width of medium triangle = 4/5(8 in.) = 6.4 in.

length of medium triangle = 4/5 length of large triangle

length of medium triangle = 4/5(12 in.) = 9.6 in.

width of small triangle = 4/5 width of medium triangle

width of small triangle = 4/5(6.4 in.) = 5.12 in.

length of small triangle = 4/5 length of medium triangle

length of small triangle = 4/5(9.6 in.) = 7.68 in.

Branson and his sister Beatrice combined their allowance of $7 each, so they could buy a movie for $12. They bought $1 container
Andreyy89

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Branson and his sister Beatrice combined their allowance of $7 each. This means that the total amount they had is 7 + 7 = $14

They bought a movie for $12. The amount that they have left is

14 - 12 = $2

They bought $1 containers of fruit salad with the remaining money and split the containers evenly between them. This means that the number of containers that they bought is

2/1 = 2

If they split the containers evenly between themselves, then each person would get

2/2 = 1 container of fruit salad
