The ratio of one triangle to the other (because they are similar, since the top angles are both 44 degrees and the two sides on the other sides of them are the same) is 12:8, or 3:2.

So therefore, we can say it's 9:6, so DE is 6.

Read the word problem below.
salantis [7]

Answer:

1 3/5 miles/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C be the speed of the current

Let D be the distance between Chan's house and the park

We know that Distance, D, is = Speed x Time

-----

Chan's speed going upstream is (8 - C)mph.

That gives us:

D = (8-C)(3 hr)

Chan's speed going downstream is (8+C)mph

So we have:

D = (8+C)(2 hr)

We know that the d is the same for these two equations, so:

(8-C)(3 hr)  = (8+C)(2 hr)

24 - 3C = 16 + 2C

5C = 8

C = (8/5) or 1 3/5 mph

one batch of cookies makes 24 cookies. the recipe calls for 1 3/4 cups of flour. if Sarah needs to make 60 cookies how much flou
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

4 3/8 cups of flour needed for 60 cookies

Explanation:

You can multiply 24 by 2.5 to get 60 so you'd multiply the cups of flour by 2.5 as well. You multiply both of them by the same number because it's a ratio. You'd multiply then simplify to get the answer 4 3/8 cups of flour.

Pippi sold ten more cups of lemonade that cups of iced tea. She sold 120 cups in all. How many cups of lemonade did she sell?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

65  cups

Step-by-step explanation:

If she sold 10 more cups of lemonade than tea and sold 120 cups total.  I first would subtract 10 cups from 120 =110.  then I divide 110 /2 = 55 cups

The 55 cups makes it equal then I add the 10 cups back to the Lemonade to get 55+10 = 65
