These two parallelograms are similar
2 answers:
In similar figures sides are in proportion
The sides of the bigger parallelogram are x+8 and 20
The sides of smaller parallelogram are x and 12
The sides are in proportion
We can solve this for x
To solve for x we cross multiply
20x=12(x+8)
20x=12x+96
Subtracting 12x both sides
20x-12x=96
8x=96
Dividing both sides by 8
x=12

Given data
On Monday, Jesse drank 3/4 of liter of water before jogging
and drank 3/5 of liter after jogging
In all, Jesse drank 3/4 and 3/5 liters of water
= 3/4+3/5
the lcm is 20
=15+12/20
=27/20
in mixed numbers(i.e a whole and a fraction together we have) we have
