The value of x is 5/8.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
Given,
- The lines PQ and RS are parallel to each other.
- slope of PQ= x-1/4
- slope of RS = 3/8
The slopes of parallel lines are equal.
slope of PQ = slope of RS
⇒ x-1/4 = 3/8
⇒ (4x-1)/4 = 3/8
⇒ 8(4x-1) = 4(3)
⇒ 32x-8 = 12
⇒ 32x = 20
x = 20/32
x = 5/8
The first thing to note is since one gallon= 60 miles then 1/2 gallon= 30 miles, now I know 1/2 is not an answer but it is easiest to decrease in moderate amounts. 1/2 gallon= 48 Km so we are close, and 1/2=0.5 so if we brought it down to 0.42 we would have 25.2 miles and 25.2 miles = 40.32. The question wants to know the approximate number and 40.32 is the closest we are going to get so the answer is 0.42

Answer:
AB/DE=BC/EF=AC/DF
Step-by-step explanation:
Corresponding segments are designated by letters in corresponding positions in the triangle names. For example, of one segment is designated using the 1st and 2nd letters of one triangle name (such as AB), then the corresponding segment is designated using the 1st and 2nd letters of the other triangle name (such as DE).
Corresponding segments are proportional in length. Corresponding angles are congruent.
