As they are similar triangles, one is simply going to be bigger than the other, meaning that if triangle T’s side QS is = 9 and triangle W’s corresponding side ZX is =6.5. When dividing 9 by 6.5, it is obvious that triangle W is 0.72 smaller than triangle T. All you then have to do to calculate length of side XY is times side QR on triangle T -cause it’s the corresponding side of these two triangles- by 0.72, and you’ll have your answer of XY= 8.125 :)
Answer:
Sonya is ten her mother is 22
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
The correct answer is 6.25 times.
This is how you get there:
1) First off, you are going to need to have the same unit (either cm or mm). I used millimeters for this problem. 25cm=250mm
2) This next part is very easy to get wrong. You need to figure out what you are dividing, and by what. Simply look at the problem. <span><em>"How much longer is the guinea pig than her fish?" </em>This shows what numbers you should be getting. The guinea pig is 250mm long, where the fish is only 40. This means that her guinea pig should be larger. 250÷40=6.25
If you did this problem the other way, you would've ended up with .16. If you put the sizes into perspective, you will notice that this is highly unlikely.
I hope that I have been able to simplify this problem for you!

X is pretzels and y is hot dogs
3x + 2y=195
x +15 =y
3x + 2(x+15)=195
5x=165
x=33
