Answer: 54

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar, the sides form s equalivent proportion. The hypotunse of the bigger triangle and the smaller triangles correspond with each other and the base of the smaller and larger triangle correspond so we use this proportion: hypo. of big triangle/ base of larger triangle= hypo of smaller triangle/ base of smaller triangle.

Let substitue: 52.5/x= 5/4: ( I  Reduce 15/12 into 5/4).Cross multiply:    210=5x: Divide by 5 both sides. x=42. Then add the 42 and and the 12 to find the whole distance which is 54.

Describe a scenario for 1/2 ÷ 3
Sholpan [36]
You can think of it as two separate fractions. 1/2 divided by 3/1. You can solve this by multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. A reciprocal is switching the fraction by turning it over. So you just have to solve 1/2 multiplied by 1/3. As a result you get 1/6 as the answer! Hope this helped!

Show me how to solve 172 times 6
stepan [7]

I would recommend starting by turning 172 into 100+70+2. This makes it much easier to multiply it by 6.

(100+70+2) × 6 =

distributive property

(100×6) + (70×6) + (2×6) =

Simplify

600 +  420 + 12 =

Add it all together

1032

The answer would be 1032.

Ket [755]

Answer:

C) 8x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Ultimately you want the two problems to be equal.  It is not 6x because if you distribute 3 in this case, you will get 18x so it is 8x, it is also not -12 because it will be -36 as a result, so your answer is 8x-4.
