To find out 7/12 as a percent, first you divide
7/12 = 0.583333333
Then you move the decimal point twice to get the percentage.
7/12 as a percent is <u>about </u><u>58.33 %</u>
So they're proportional.
This means that the 2 triangles are exactly the same BUT the right one is smaller than the other, so all measurements are smaller too.
So to find the distance, you need to find the scale factor.
Think of it like this: 82m becomes 73.8m, and 92m becomes 82.8m.
Find the scale factor by finding the ratio.
73.8/82 = 9/10 or 0.9
You could do the same thing with the other two numbers too (92/82.8), gives the same answer.
Times the ratio by the distance of the bigger triangle:
0.9 x 47 = 42.3m
The answer is .52 9/16 2/3
For 6, you could divide 56 kilometers by 8 kilometers to get 7 kilometers. Multiply 7 by 5 to get 35. There would be 35 miles in 56 kilometers
