You convert 1 1/8 to an improper fraction which is 9/8.then you add 9/8 + 6/8= 15/8.convert 15/8 to an mixed number which is 1 and 7/8.

answer = 1 7/8 

hope this helps!!!

Which equation represents a proportional relationship?
Verizon [17]

y = 3 x equation represents a proportional relationship.

Answer: Option B

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

A proportional variation represents a relationship between two variables x and y. It can be expressed in the form y=k x. Here, the ‘k’, the proportionality constant is equal to the slope m and the line goes through the origin

case A) y=2\left(x+\frac{1}{3}\right)

A linear equation that not passes through the origin and so not proportional variation

case B) y= 3 x

Is a linear equation but passes through the origin and so proportional variation

case C) y = - 3x+2

A linear equation that not passes through the origin and so not proportional variation

case D)  \text { D) } y=\frac{1}{2 x}

An inverse variation equation but not passes through the origin and so not proportional variation.

From these, equation option B is the proportion equation because in these equations, there is no addition and subtraction of any constant number. That’s why both these equations become proportional equations.

A man is trying to calculate the shadow of a 24 flag pole. He uses similar triangles by comparing his own height 5 ft to the len
Pie

Answer:

The answer to your question is 12 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Height of the flag pole = 24

shadow of the flag pole = x

height of the man = 5 ft

shadow of the man = 2.5 ft

Process

1.- Use the Thales' theorem to solve this problem

shadow of the flag pole/height of the flag pole = shadow of the man/height

                                                                                                 of the man

- Substitution

                     x/24 = 2.5/5

- Solve for x

                    x = 2.5(24)/5

- Simplification

                    x = 60/5

-Result

                   x = 12 ft
