Answer:

$\huge\boxed{x=28\ ft}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If two rectangles are similar, then corresponding sides are in proportion.

Therefore we have the equation:

$\dfrac{x}{42}=\dfrac{36}{54}$

cross multiply

$54x=(42)(36)\\\\54x=1512$

divide both sides by 54

$\dfrac{54x}{54}=\dfrac{15212}{54}\\\\x=28$

If each eruption consumes 8 fluid ounces of vinegar. Assuming that the amount of vinegar required per eruption is constant, the number of times Tanvi can make her volcano erupt is:

$n=\frac{32}{8}\\n=4\ times$

Tanvi can make her volcano erupt 4 times with 1 quart of vinegar.
