Answer:

The triangles are not similar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at ratios of corresponding sides. If the triangles are similar, all the ratios will be equal.

Compare a side from $\triangle{RTS}$ with a side from $\triangle{MQP}$ .

16/20 = 4/5

12/15 = 4/5 (looks promising, so far!)

20/26 = 10/13 Not at all the same as 4/5, so the triangles are not similar.

300 ml over 15 min is what rate of ml per hour

Mama L [17]

Answer:

1200 ml per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

To compute what rate is 300 ml over 15 mins as a rate of ml per hour, we do a rule of 3, using a variable x as that amount of ml we don't know yet. We should have everything in the same units, so instead of writing 1 hour we write 60 minutes:

$\frac{300~ml}{15~min}=\frac{x~ml}{60~mins}$
