Answer:
I choose option c hope it helps
Step-by-step explanation:
You're given that ΔUVW is similar to ΔYZW. The tricky part is identifying which sides in ΔUVW correspond to which sides in ΔYZW.
The triangles share point W, so visually rotate one triangle around W until the two triangles align. That way, you can see that UW and ZW correspond to each other, and VW and YW correspond to each other.
Now you can find the scale:
VW / YW = 5/12
And you can write a proportion to find x:
UW / ZW = VW / YW
x / 64 = 5 / 12
x = 26 ⅔

Answer:
- 7 pounds of fish
- 18.5 pounds of lobster
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of pounds of lobster sold. Then 25.5-x is the number of pounds of fish. The total money made is ...
4.25(25.5-x) +9.00x = 196.25
4.75x + 108.375 = 196.25 . . . . . simplify
4.75x = 87.875 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 108.375
x = 18.5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4.75
The market sold 7 pounds of fish and 18.5 pounds of lobster.
