53+53+53+53+53+53=318
if you add 53 six times you get 318
1. (5 + 4) x 2 + 6 - (2 x 2) - 1
2. 9 x 2 + 6 - 4 - 1
3. 18 + 6 - 4 - 1
4. 24 - 4 - 1
5. 20 - 1
6. 19
Multiply -3/11 and -2/15 straight across
-3(-2) = 6
11(15) = 165
6/165 is your product, or 0.036 (rounded)
hope this helps
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the 2 figures are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
( cross- multiply )
18x = 48 ( divide both sides by 18 )
x =
=
= 2 
Similarly
=
( cross- multiply )
18y = 30 ( divide both sides by 18 )
y =
=
= 1
