(3) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that ∆ADE is similar to ∆ABC. As such, the ratios of their legs are equal. Also note that AD = AB + BD.

BC/AB = DE/AD

BC/10 = 12/(10 + 5) = 12/15 = 4/5

BC = 10(4/5) = 8

Ebony walked at arate of 3 1/2 miles per hour for 1 1/3 how far did she walk?

ElenaW [278]

let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{7}{2}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{1\frac{1}{3}}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 3+1}{3}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{4}{3}} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}$

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} miles&hours\\ \cline{1-2}\\ \frac{7}{2}&1\\[0.8em] m&\frac{4}{3} \end{array}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{7}{2}~~}{m}=\cfrac{~~1~~}{\frac{4}{3}}\implies \cfrac{7}{2m}=\cfrac{3}{4}\implies 28=6m \\\\\\ \cfrac{28}{6}=m\implies \cfrac{14}{3}=m\implies 4\frac{2}{3}=m$
