<u>I'm very sorry but i don't know the answer to this queshtion</u>
Given:
grapes = 2 1/2 pounds
apples = 1 1/4 times as many pounds as grapes.
For easier computation, let us convert these fractions into numbers with decimal places.
2 1/2 pounds = 2.50 pounds
1 1/4 times = 1.25
Apples = 2.50 pounds * 1.25 = 3.125 pounds of apples.
Or we still use fractions. We need to convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions.
2 1/2 = 5/2
1 1/4 = 5/4
5/2 * 5/4 = 5*5 / 2*4 = 25/8 is simplified to 3 1/8 pounds
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangles are similar because the angles marked 125 are equal and the sides either side of these angle are in the same ratio:
1.3 / 2.5 = 2.6 /5.
If we are given the length of AE we would find CF from the equation:
1.3 / 2.5 = CF / AE
CF = (1.3 * AE) / 2.5.
