Answer:

7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given information that the two triangles are similar and we want to work out the length of "t" . Since these 2 triangles are similar, it means that a scale factor is used to enlarge the sides, we can work out the scale by dividing QP by LJ and RP by KJ so,

QP ÷ JK = 25 ÷ 5 = 5

RP ÷ JL = 22.5 ÷ 4.5 = 5

So we can see the scale factor is 5, now all we need to do is multiply the scale factor by 1.5 to find the value of t

1.5 × 5 = 7.5

The value of t is 7.5

Answer: Non-proportional

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit rate for the gas per gallon is $3.17. You want to find out if that is equal to the amount you would pay for 10 gallons at once. If you multiply the unit rate by ten, you would get 10 gallons = $31.70

So...you know that it is not proportional

Jessica buys a lamp that costs $35 and a table that costs $75.00. If the tax rate is 10%, what will be the total cost of the lam

shepuryov [24]

Hello there!

75 + 35 = 110

110 x 10% = 0.1

110 x 0.1 = 11 ( the 11 is your tax )

75 + 35 = 110

110 + 11 = 121

$121

Hope this helped!
