The correct answer would be 16/24. You would need to multiply both the denominator and numerator by 4.
The hourly wage is approximately $26 per hour. Find out how many hours the person works per year by multiplying 40 x 50 to get 2,000 hours. Then divide 52,000 by 2,000 to get the person's hourly wage, which is $26 hours per hour.
If the two triangles are similar, then the corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.
That means that the length of RQ is the same as the corresponding side from triangle ABC.
Hope this helps :)
