Answers:

x = 5/2 = 2.5

y = 10

============================================

Explanation:

Focus on the smallest triangle and the medium sized triangle. We can form the proportion 2/4 = x/5 by dividing the corresponding sides together.

Solving for x leads us to the following

2/4 = x/5

2*5 = 4*x

10 = 4x

4x = 10

x = 10/4

x = 5/2

x = 2.5

-----------------

Now focus on the medium sized triangle and the largest triangle. We'll use the same idea as before

4/8 = 5/y

4y = 8*5

4y = 40

y = 40/4

y = 10

Note how each horizontal line is a midsegment, which means that jumping from y = 10 to 5 is us taking half of that value. Then going from 5 to x = 5/2 = 2.5 is another step of cutting in half.

Total cost for cookie and lemonade is 1.80. If lemonade costs 1.00 more than the cookie, how much was the lemonade?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

The lemonade costs 1.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved using a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the cost of a cookie.

y is the cost of a lemonade.

Total cost for cookie and lemonade is 1.80.

This means that x + y = 1.8.

As we want y, we have that x = 1.8 - y

Lemonade costs 1.00 more than the cookie?

This means that:

y = x + 1

So

y = 1.8 - y + 1

2y = 2.8

y = \frac{2.8}{2}

y = 1.4

The lemonade costs 1.4.
