If one is 5"x3", and the other having the same orientation is 3"x?, then
by similar figures,
5/3=3/x
cross multiply,
5x=3*3
x=9/5=1.8"
With the original figure, it is possible to validate the above answer.
Answer:
9 4/7 + 8 5/6 = 773/
42
= 18 17/
42
= 18.4047619
Step-by-step explanation:
If the train travels 744 miles in 3 hours then to determine the unit rate the train is traveling per hour you have to divide the miles by the hours, in this case (744 miles)/(3 hours). The final result concludes as 248 miles per hour.
