Answer:
a = 30
b = 40
C
Step-by-step explanation:
This requires that you use a proportion.
a / (a + 15) = 40 / 60
The small triangle's sides are in proportion to the large triangles sides.
Reduce the right. Divide top and bottom by 20
a/(a + 15) = 40/20 // 60/20
a/(a + 15) = 2/3
Cross multiply
3a = 2(a + 15) Remove the brackets on the right.
3a = 2a + 30
Subtract 2a from both sides
3a-2a = 30
a = 30
Find B
b is done exactly the same way.
b/(b+20) = 2/3
3b = 2b + 40
3b - 2b = 40
b = 40

Answer:
Dezias' pensil is 5.11-1.09=4.02 inches long
Paul's pencil is 4.02+2.05=6.07 inches long
Miguel's pencil is 5.11+1.75=6.86 inches long
Combined are 5.11+4.02+6.07+6.86=22.06
The fraction is 22.06/12=1.8383333...
Answer:
