Triangles IJK and LMN are similar. Then, the proportion between their similar sides must be equal. That is:
IJ/ML = JK/MN = IK/LN
where:
IJ = x
JK = 54
IK = y
MN = 42
ML = 28
NL = 35
In order to find the value of y, you consider the equation JK/MN = IK/LN, and solve for y, just as follow
JK/MN = IK/LN replace by the values
54/42 = y/35 multiply both sides by 35
(54/42)(35) = y
45 = y
Hence, y = 45

Answer: 17/52
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 52 total cards in a standard deck.
The number of diamonds in a deck of cards is 13 and there are 4 jacks in a deck of cards.
So the propabibilty of Pat picking a diamond is 13/52 and the probability of Pat picking a jack is 4/52. Now you have to add the two probabilities together.
You do not remove any digits because Pat put the card back into the deck, he didn't take it away. So we do not take away from the total
13 + 4 = 17
You do not need to change the denominator cause 52 is the same.
So 17/52 is the probability of Pat picking a diamond or a jack

What you would do is take the denominators and multiply them by each other, then multiply the numerators by that same number. So like 4/10 and 4/9. You would say, (denominators) 10x9=90 and (numerators) 4x9=36. So your first fraction would be 36/90. Next, you would take (denominators) 9x10=90 and (numerators) 4x10=40. So your second fraction would become 40/90. Now it's a lot easier to compare. 36/90 < 40/90 would be the answer to my problem. I hope I helped!
