So what we're dealing with here is a similar triangle situation. Since ML is a midsegment, that means that IL and LJ are congruent. So, IL=LJ=13. This means that the whole side IJ is 26 (13+13=26). We also know that triangle IML and triangle IKJ are similar triangles, so their sides are proportional. This means that we can set up the ratio:
12/13 = x/26
and solve for x.
After multiplying 26 to both sides of the equation, we find that x=24, so KJ=24.
You should use a protractor to help you with this answer; without one it's really hard to draw a 62 degree angle on your own. Sorry!!!

Answer:
Gradient is = 0.375
Step-by-step explanation:
Rise = 3
Run = 8
Make 2 equations from the question first
x is the number of pints for type 1
y is the number of pints for type 2
The equation
x + y = 120
60% x + 85% y = 65% (x + y)
Solve the equation
From the 2nd equation
0.6x + 0.85y = 0.65(x + y)
0.6x + 0.85y = 0.65x + 0.65y
0.85y - 0.65y = 0.65x - 0.6x
0.2y = 0.05x
y = 4x
From the 1st equation
x + y = 120
x + 4x = 120
5x = 120
x = 24
y = 4x
y = 96
The first type should be 24 pints, the second type should be 96 pints
