To divide fractions, we can use a method called "copy dot flip."

Let's say we were given 1/4 ÷ 1/2.

Copy: the first fraction.

Dot: change from dividing to multiplying.

Flip: take the reciprocal of the last fraction.

________

Copy: 1/4

Dot: · (×)

Flip: 2/1

Now, write as an equation.

1/4 · 2/1

________

Now, to multiply fractions, you multiply the number right next to it.

$\frac{1*2}{4*1}$

Simplify.

2/4 or 1/2

________

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

$\triangle ABC {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle DE\ F$

$\triangle CBA {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle FED$

$\triangle BAC {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle EDF$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\triangle ABC {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle DE\ F$

$AC = 10$

$AB = 5$

$\angle C = 30^\circ$

$ED = 7.5$

$DF = 25$

$\angle F =30$

$\angle E =90$

Required

Which of the options is/are true:

$\triangle CBA {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle FED$ $\triangle CBA {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle FDE$ $\triangle BAC {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle EFD$

$\triangle BAC {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle EDF$ $\triangle ABC {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle DE\ F$ $\triangle ABC {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle DFE$

The given triangles, implies that:

$A {\displaystyle \sim } \ D$

$B {\displaystyle \sim } \ E$

$C {\displaystyle \sim } \ F$

By taking each sides of both triangle, one after the other; the possible similar triangles are:

$\triangle ABC {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle DE\ F$

$\triangle CBA {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle FED$

$\triangle BAC {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle EDF$

lord [1]

19%
In the division, 60% are women and 100%-60% = 40% are men. And for this project, we have 15% of the women, or 15%*60% = 9% of the personal and 25% of the men or 25% * 40% = 10% of the personal working on the project. Therefore 9% + 10% = 19% of the division is working on the project.
