Answer:

x = 6/7 of a puzzle

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of puzzle : time taken

= 3/4 : 7/8

How much a puzzle can she complete in an hour?

Let

x = number of puzzle to complete

Number of puzzle : time taken

= x : 1

Equate both ratios to solve for x

3/4 : 7/8 = x : 1

3/4 ÷ 7/8 = x / 1

3/4 × 8/7 = x / 1

24/28 = x / 1

Cross product

24 * 1 = 28 * x

24 = 28x

x = 24/28

= 6/7

x = 6/7 of a puzzle

Answer:

13.3

Step-by-step explanation:

If AM is 6 and MB is 4, the total length of AB is 10. The ratio of the sides ΔABC and ΔAMN is going to be 5:3 since that 10 divided by 6 can be simplified to 5 divided by 3. If AN is 8 and the ratio of AN to AC is 3:5, the value of AC could be rounded to 13.3.

Hope this helps and stay safe !
