Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Length of railroad car = 6 inches
The length of railroad track = 5 feet
We will convert this length into inches.
1 feet = 12 inches
5 feet = 12*5 = 60 inches
Let,
x be the number of cars.
Number of cars * Length of each car = Length of track
Dividing both sides by 6
10 cars can fit on railroad track.
Step-by-step explanation:
BE/BC=BD/BA
tHE TWO SIMILAR TRIANGLES ARE BED AND BC. tHE PROPORTION ABOVE REPRESENTS USE OF THE TWO SIMILAR TRIANGLES.
4/(4 + 10) = 5/(5+X) Cross Multiply
4(5+x) = 5(4+10)m
20 +4x=20 +50 subtract 20 from both sides
4x = 50 divide by 4
x =12.5
1 x 72<span>, </span>2 x 36<span>, </span>3 x 24,4 x 18<span>, </span>6 x 12<span>, or </span><span>8 x 9</span>
