Ok, so 120 pages plus the 60% of the book she has left to read will give the total number of pages.
That means that 120 pages is 40% of the book.
Make a proportion
120/40% = x/60%
72 = .4 x
x = 180 pages
One really simple way to find an equivalent fraction is just to multiply the numerator and denominator.
For example, for the first answer, 
, I simply multiplied the numerator and denominator each by 2. This gives you an equivalent fraction.
You can then continue with this process using numbers such as 3, 4, 5, and 6 as your multiplication factor.
Answer: the statements and resons, from the given bench, that fill in the blank are shown in italic and bold in this table:
Statement Reason
1. K is the midpoint of segment JL Given
2. segment JK ≅ segment KL <em>Definition of midpoint</em>
3. <em>L is the midpoint of segment KM</em> Given
4. <em>segment KL ≅ segment LM</em> Definition of midpoint
5. segment JK ≅ segment LM Transitive Property of
Congruence
Explanation:
1. First blank: you must indicate the reason of the statement "segment JK ≅ segment KL". Since you it is given that K is the midpoint of segment JL, the statement follows from the very <em>Definition of midpoint</em>.
2. Second blank: you must add a given statement. The other given statement is <em>segment KL ≅ segment LM</em> .
3. Third blank: you must indicate the statement that corresponds to the definition of midpoint. That is <em>segment KL ≅ segment LM</em> .
4. Fourth and fith blanks: you must indicate the statement and reason necessary to conclude with the proof. Since, you have already proved that segment JK ≅ segment KL and segment KL ≅ segment LM it is by the transitive property of congruence that segment JK ≅ segment LM.
Answer:
The length of the other leg is 
Step-by-step explanation:
I will assume that the triangle is a right triangle
In a right triangle the legs are perpendicular
so
The area of a right triangle is equal to
where
a and b are the legs of the triangle
In this problem we have
substitute the values
144=(x+7)^2 take the square root of both sides...
12=x+7 subtract 7 from both sides...
x=5
So the original was a 5m square.

255=WL and you are told that W=L+2 so the equation becomes:
255=(L+2)L
255=L^2+2L
L^2+2L-255=0
L^2+17L-15L-255=0
L(L+17)-15(L+17)=0
(L-15)(L+17)=0 Since L>0...
L=15yd, and since W=L+2, W=17yd so
length=15, width=17yd
