Answer:

C. ⁵/12= ²/x

Step-by-step Explanation:

Given that rectangle EFGH is similar to rectangle JKLM, it means the corresponding sides of both rectangles are similar, and as such the ratios if the corresponding sides of rectangle EFGH and rectangle JKLM would be equal.

Thus, EF/JK = FG/KL

Since, EF = 5; JK = 12; FG = 2; and KL= x, therefore, the proportion to use in finding x would be:

⁵/12= ²/x

Let's solve ~

$\qquad \looparrowright \sf - 2 \sqrt{192 {k}^{4} }$

$\qquad \looparrowright \sf - 2 \sqrt{2 {}^{6} \times 3{k}^{4} }$

$\qquad \looparrowright \sf - 2 \times 2 {}^{3} \times {k}^{2} \times \sqrt{3}$

$\qquad \looparrowright \sf - 16 {k}^{2} \sqrt{3}$

Hence, the correct choice is D

Hannah buys 2/3 pound of roast beef. She uses 1/4 pound to make sandwiches for lunch. How much roast beef does she have left?

Vanyuwa [196]

First we need to make both fractions equal to each other, and that means having to have the denominators the same.

What both 3 and 12 easily go into is 12.

So we need to make both fractions have a denominator of 12, so we multiply.

2/3 * 4/4 = 8 / 12

1/4 * 3/3 = 3 / 12

Now, we know that she has 8 / 12 pounds, and she uses 3 / 12 of it, so now we subtract to find how much she has left.

8 - 3 = 5

Out of the 12 pounds of roast beef, she now has 5 / 12 left.

-52 times the difference between a number and 14 is equal to the number plus 3

xenn [34]

X=number looked for
we have this equation:
-52(x-14)=x+3
we solve this equation:
-52x+728=x+3
-52x-x=3-728
-53x=-725
x=-725/-53=725/53 ≈13,68

Solution: 725/53

To check:
the difference between 725/53 and 14=725/53 - 14=(725-742)/53=-17/53
-52 times the diference is= -52(-17/53)=884/53
The number plus 3=725/53 + 3=(725+159)/53=884/53
