Answer:

RM / RP = 10/18 = 5/9

RN/RQ = 7/21 = 1/3

Since the two ratios are not the same, triangle PRQ is not similar to triangle MRN.

Mary bought more than 72 pencils to distribute to children at an orphanage. She packs these pencils in gift boxes. If she packs

bixtya [17]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable.
We have then:
x: number of gift boxes.
We then have to write the inequation that models the problem:
"Mary bought more than 72 pencils"
"she packs 4 pencils each into x gift boxes"
We have then:
$4x \geq 72$
Simplifying we have:
$x \geq 72/4$
$x \geq 18$
Answer:
the inequality that represents this situation is:
$4x \geq 72$
The simplified form of the inequality is:
$x \geq 18$
