If the longest side on the similar triangle is 51 and the longest side of the first triangle is 17, then you divide 51 and 17.

51 / 17 = 3

So the similar triangle is 3 times as big.
To find the shortest side of the similar triangle, you multiply 8 and 3.

8 * 3 = 24

The length of the shortest side of the similar triangle is 24.

Hope this helps!

Lisa has $7.80 to spend on some tomatoes and a loaf of bread. Tomatoes
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Lisa can buy 5 pounds of tomatoes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Lisa has $ 7.80 to spend on some tomatoes and a loaf of bread, and tomatoes cost $ 1.20 per pound, and a loaf of bread costs $ 1.80, to determine how many pounds of tomatoes she can buy, the following calculation must be performed:

1.20X + 1.80 = 7.80

1.20X = 7.80 - 1.80

X = 6 / 1.20

X = 5

So Lisa can buy 5 pounds of tomatoes.
