Actually Welcome to the Concept of the Similarities.
Since here, first figure is a Triangle, hence similarity of a triangle is given by ratio of it sides and make them equate,
hence for,
1.) 16/12 = x/9 ===> 4/3 = x/9 ===> x = 9*4/3 ==> x = 36/3
hence the value of x is 12 , ===> x = 12 .
2.) here,in the case of a Reactangle the relation is such that, length = 2* breadth,
hence we apply the relation,
x = 2*4.5 ===> x = 9 units.
If A and B are complementary angles, then they add up to 90 degrees.
So A + B = 90 => (x + 24) + (x + 16) = 90 => 2x + 40 = 90 => 2x = 50.
So x = 25, and thus, the measurement of B is (25 + 16) = 41.
The measurement of angle A is (25 + 24) = 49, and indeed they are complementary.
You can get 18 dishes from 4 1/2 of a carton of Dan's ice cream.
First, we have to figure out how much cheese we have total. Do this by adding up all of the various cheeses.

Now to split the cheeses into sections of 1/4 pound each, we have to divide by 1/4, which is the same as multipling by 4

13 slices total
7.5 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assign the speed of Jerry in still air as <em>x </em> (in km/h)
Let's assign the speed of the wind as <em>y </em>(in km/h)
With the wind as Jerry’s back, he takes 10 minutes to get to the library. We can create the following equation. (<em>we are converting the minutes to hours by dividing by 60</em>);
2.5 / (x + y) = 10/60
10x + 10y = 150
x + y = 15
With the wind against Jerry, he takes 15 minutes from the library. We can create the following equation;
2.5 / (x-y) = 15/60
15x – 15y = 150
x – y = 10
We can now solve the simultaneous equation by subtraction;
x + y = 15
x – y = 10
2y = 5
y = 5/2 = 2.5
y = 2.5 km/h
x = 7.5 km/h
