Answer:
a) ⅖+⅓ = 6/15 + 5/15 = 11/15
b) 5/9 - 1/2 = 10/18 - 9/18 = 1/18
The answer is 16 ft because 6 ft tall over 4 feet 6 inches (4.5) is equal to x (tree's height) over 12 ft. You cross multiple and get 72 = 4.5x then you take 72 and divide by 4.5 to get the tree's height

Answer:
KL = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, JL is the sum of KL and JK. So we can say this:
JK + KL = JL
( 3x + 6 ) + ( 5x + 6 ) = 28
8x + 12 = 28
8x = 16
x = 2
So, now we can find KL:
5x + 6 = ?
5(2) + 6 = ?
10 + 6 = ?
16 = ?
So the length of KL is 16.
Cheers.
