The rope is 1 and 1/3 long,1 is the same as saying 3/3,
this means that the rope is 3/3 + 1/3 long,so it is 4/3 foot long,
you now want to get half of this number so that each person has an equal length of rope,so multiply the length of rope by a half,
4/3 x 1/2 = 4/6 , which if simplified = 2/3, this means that each friend gets 2/3 foot of rope.
You can draw this in a diagram by drawing the 1 foot of rope, and then dividing it up into 3 sections. Then add the 1/3 foot of rope into the drawing. It should then be easy to see that altogether there are 4 separate sections of rope and that if each friend has two sections then they will be sharing equal amounts, so consequently each friend has two of the thirds of rope, 2/3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
k=3 or k=−7 both choices are correct
First, classify each line segments of triangle that are the same in both triangles.
RS = XU
RT = XW
ST = WU
Second, divide to find the scale ratio.
7.5/3 = 2.5
16/6.4 = 2.5
15/6 = 2.5
Since the scale ratios are identical, the triangles are similar.
Therefore, the answer is [ Yes, the sides are in the ratio 2:5 ]
Best of Luck!
