The answer is -1. First you distribute the 3. Then u distribute the 3 again to the parentheses. Then solve it from there
Do 7/8 divided by 3/16.
Multiply by the reciprocal of 3/16 which is 16/3
7/8 x 16/3= 112/24
Simplify by dividing by 8 on top and bottom
14/3
Change it into a mixed number
Answer is 4 2/3
As they are similar figures,we can use the ratio of the side to find out the value of z.
The only side that both have the value indicated is 4 and 6,therefore we would use it to find the ratio.
The eqaution would be:
6/4 = z/8
3/2 = z/8
3×8 = 2z
z = 24/2
z = 12
Thus the value of z is 12.
Hope it helps!
