Fig A is a scale image of Fig D. These two quadrilaterals are similar, and thus, the side lengths of corresponding sides are proportional. Set the proportion x/3 = 7.2/4 (you could alternatively write it as x/7.2 = 3/4 but for the simplicity's sake, and assuming anyone who has this problem would already know how to solve proportions like these...)

7.2/4 = 1.8

x/3 = 1.8

now multiply both sides by 3 to get x = 5.4

At 8am,Ming Wei started travelling from Town A to Town B.At 8:40am, Ali started travelling from Town B to Town A.Mingwei's speed

Vesnalui [34]

Let's write some equations.

Mingwei's distance from Town A after $x$ hours from 8:00 is $45x$ .

Ali's distance from Town B after $x$ hours is $30x-20$ , since he doesn't start walking for 40 minutes.

When Mingwei's distance is twice Ali's, they've met up (since their distance from Town A is twice their distance from Town B).

So, this gives $45x=60x-40$ , so $15x=40$ , so $x=\frac{40}{15} = \frac{8}{3}$ , so the time is 10:40.

After $\frac83$ hours, Mingwei has traveled $45 * 8 / 3 = 120$ kilometers while Ali has traveled sixty, so the distance between the towns is $180$ kilometers.
