Answer:
missing side length is 12
Step-by-step explanation:
similar means that all correlating pairs of sides have the same ratio (old side length) / (new side length).
so, when we know the ratio of one pair, we can apply it to any other side to calculate the correlating side.
we see, when we go from small to large, that we have the ratio 32/40 = 4/5.
so, multiplying the larger side by this, we get the shorter side.
15 × 4/5 = 3 × 4 = 12
the proportion part in your picture is a bit confusing :
yes,
x/15 = 32/40 = 32/40
I don't know, why this last expression was repeated.
x/15 = 32/40
x = 15×32/40 = 15×4/5 = 3×4 = 12
as you see we get of course the same result doing it that way.
Is there more to the problem? There isn’t enough information here.
Fraction- 12/15
80% that it won't land on green
20%that it will land on green
(i wasn't sure what your ? was, so i put both choices.)
Well, the standard equation is in the form:
ax + bx = c (constant).
Thus, x and b must be isolated together on one side with the constant on the other. The equation which satisfies this is:
A. -2x + y = 5
