Abby ran 2 1/3 miles. Miguel ran 1 1/2 times as far as Abbey did. how many miles did Miguel run?

1 answer:

8 0

Miguel's 1 1/2 times can be written out as 1.5 because 1/2 is equal to 0.5,
To work out the distance you need to times Abby's miles by 1.5. Another way of doing this is by dividing Abby's miles by 2, working out the 0.5, and then adding her original miles, adding on the 1 to make 1.5.

2 1/3 / 2 = 1 1/6
1 1/6 + 2 1/3 = 3 3/6 = 3.5 miles

Hope this helps! :)

In triangle ABC, angle A is 75o and angle B is 20o. Select the triangle that is similar to triangle ABC.

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

A. $\triangle$ DEF where $\angle D = 75^{\circ}$ and $\angle E = 20^{\circ}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

At first we must keep in mind that two triangles are similar when they have same angle configuration, that is, each pair of angles is congruent. If $\triangle$ ABC and $\triangle$ DEF, then $\angle A \equiv \angle D$ and $\angle B \equiv \angle E$ . Hence, $\angle D = 75^{\circ}$ and $\angle E = 20^{\circ}$ .
