Let the common multiple be x
3x : 2x
3x = 125
x = 125/3
So, B pays 2x = 2 × 125/3 = £250/3
Given:
The figure of two quadrilaterals.
In 
In 
To find:
Whether the figures are congruent, similar or neither.
Solution:
Ratio of corresponding sides are:


Similarly,




And,


Clearly,
.
All corresponding sides are not proportional.
Therefore, the figures are neither similar nor congruent. Hence, third option is correct.
12 x 5.2
Estimate:
since 5.2 is about 5, we can estimate this to:
12 x 5 = 60
Find the Product:
12
<u> x 5.2
</u> 2 4
<u> + 6 0 0
</u> 6 2 4
now add the decimal back in. In the original problem there is one decimal place (the .2 in 5.2) so we move the decimal place one over in our product
624 becomes 62.4
