Say you have 3 cakes. How many cakes would you have eaten if you ate 1/3 of the three cakes? One, you have eaten one cake, out of the three you have.
How many cakes do you have left if you eat 2/3 of the three cakes? Two, you have eaten 2 cakes, and have 1 cake left.
It is a similar approach here, except the confusing part is working "forward", when you really have to work "backward". If you have driven 30 miles, and you have driven 2 parts out of the trip when there is 3 parts of the trip, how many miles have you driven? Hint: Dividing 30 by 2 gives you what fraction of the distance to Jeff's grandmother?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If two polygons are similar, then corresponding sides are in proportion.
The corresponding sides:
4 → x
y → 15
3 → w
2 → 6
z → 9
therefore:
<em>cross multiply</em>
<em>divide both sides by 6</em>
This is how to solve this
