Answer: NJ = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: In triangle JKL , MN is a line segment parallel to KL intersects the other sides into two distinct points at M and N.

The basic proportionality theorem says that a line is parallel to a side of a triangle which intersects the other sides into two different points then the line divides those sides in proportion.

So by basic proportionality theorem we have :-

$\frac{JM}{MK}=\frac{NJ}{LN}\\\\\Rightarrow\frac{9}{45}=\frac{NJ}{40}\\\\\Rightarrow NJ=\frac{40}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow NJ=8$

Answer: 4 parfaits.

Step-by-step explanation: 1/2 divided by 1/8. when you divide you flip the second fraction and multiply it so now it's 1/2 x 8/1 which is 8/2 and then is turned into 4 so 4 parfaits

Hope this helps im really good at fractions if you need anything else lol :')
