Cramer's rule works as follows:
x+3y=16
3x+y=8
Then 
x=Dx/D
y=Dy/D
where Dx,Dy,D are 2x2 matrices formed from of coefficients and right hand side.
D=
1 3
3 1
=1-9=-8
Dx=matrix D with first column replaced by the vector [16,8]=
16,3
8 1
=16-24
=-8

Dy=matrix D with second column replaced by the vector [16,8]=
1 16
3 8
=8-48
=-40

Therefore
x=-8/-8=1
y=--40/-8=5

Check:
x+3y=1+3(5)=16
3x+y=3(1)+5=8   ok.

Determine whether the two figures are similar. If so, give the similarity ratio of the smaller figure to the larger figure. The
zloy xaker [14]
We have that

smaller figure
ha=8.7
ra=1.6

larger figure
hb=10.44
rb=1.92

ha/hb=8.7/10.44----> 0.83
ra/rb=1.6/1.92-------> 0.83
ratio smaller figure to the larger figure
1.6/1.92-------> divided by 1.6 both members[1.6/1.6]/[1.92/1.6]-------> 1/1.2

the ratio ha/hb is equal to the ratio ra/rb
so
the smaller figure and the larger figure are similar
and
the ratio smaller figure to the larger figure is equal to---->  1/1.2

the answer is
the option yes 1/1.2
