1/2
If ABC ~ DEF then 12/6, 16/8, and 18/9 would equal 2
BUT since we are going from a large triangle to a small triangle, our answer needs to be less then one, making our answer 1/2

Answer:
10 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
(150/x) + 1.5 + (450/(x+15)) = 600/x
Multiply through by x(x + 15):
150(x + 15) + 1.5x(x + 15) + 450x = 600(x + 15)
150x + 2250 + 1.5x^2 + 22.5x + 450x = 600x + 9000
150x + 2250 + 1.5x^2 + 22.5x + 450x - 600x - 9000 = 0
1.5x^2 + 22.5x - 6750 = 0
x = (-22.5 +/- sqrt(22.5^2 - 4(1.5)(-6750))) / (2*1.5)
x = (-22.5 +/- sqrt(506.25 + 40500)) / 3
x = (-22.5 +/- sqrt(41006.25)) / 3
x = (-22.5 +/- 202.5) / 3
x = 180/3 or -225/3
x = 60 or -75
But a negative number doesn't make sense, so therefore x = 60, so the journey took 600/60 = 10 hours.
First add 5 to right side
Next , to cancel the 7, you need to multiply by 7 on both sides
Firstly look at the options carefully and we will get to know that two answer options are incorrect because 2 of them are representing AT MOST SIGN which we don't need. So in that way Options B and D are eliminated.
So Now we are left with 2 options A and C. Lets figure it out.
We know that Carlos has 5 complete set with 4 individual figures and josh has 3 complete sets with 14 individual figures.
So lets write in the numerical language:-
let us assume that complete sets are X.
ATQ,
5x + 4 ≥ 3x + 14
subtracting 3x from both sides.
5x -3x + 4 ≥ 14
2x + 4 ≥ 14
subtracting 4 from both sides
2x ≥ 14 - 4
2x ≥ 10
dividing both sides by 2
x ≥ 5 Answer
So correct answer option is C
