This is known as Einstein's proof, not because he was the first to come up with it, but because he came up with it as a 15 year old boy.
Here the problem is justification step 2. The written equation
BC ÷ DC = BC ÷ AC
is incorrect, and wouldn't get us our statement 2, which is correct.
For similar triangles we have to carefully pair the corresponding parts to get our ratios right:
ABC ~ BDC means AB:BD = BC:DC = AC:BC so BC/DC=AC/BC.
Justification 2 has the final division upside down.
I think the answer is C hope this would help you
John walks 0.6 miles in 1 hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance walked by John = 3 miles
Time period = 5 hours
5 hours = 3 miles
Unit rate is the ratio of two measurements, in which one measurement is one, therefore,
1 hour =
John walks 0.6 miles in 1 hour.
