Answer:

5 1/3 or 5.33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the scale factor, you must divide the two equal sides.

\frac{6}{8}

which equals

\frac{3}{4} or 0.75

Now, the way to get the value of x is to divide 4 by 3/4 0r 0.75

\frac{4}{0.75}

Which equals

5.333 repeating or 5 1/3

Hope this helps. If you have any follow-up questions, feel free to ask.

Have a great day! :)

Mom put plums and apples onto a plate. The ratio of the number of plums to the number of apples was 3:2. How many fruit did mom
Delvig [45]

Answer:

30 fruits

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> number of plums on the plate

y ----> number of apples on the plate

we know that

The ratio of the number of plums to the number of apples was 3:2

so

\frac{x}{y} =\frac{3}{2}

x=1.5y ----> equation A

After Ed took 6 plums from the plate, the number of plums remaining on the plate became the same as the number of apples

so

x-6=y ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

1.5y-6=y

solve for y

1.5y-y=6\\0.5y=6\\y=12

Find the value of x

x=1.5(12)=18

therefore

Mon put on the table

x+y=18+12=30\ fruits
