Answer:

The carpenter can make 6 shelves.

Step-by-step explanation:

3/8 ÷ 1/16.

Turn multiplication sign to division sign.

Flip 1/16 to 16.

3/8 x 16 = 48/8 = 6.

Measure of E is congruent to K, so E is 50 degrees.

Measure of G is congruent to L, so G is 105 degrees.

Measure of F is congruent to J, J is 180 deg - 50 deg - 105 deg = 25 degrees, so F is 25 degrees.

The proof I am using is the Corresponding Angles Postulate.

Let k be the scale factor relating two similar prisms $P_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ , such that for corresponding parts of prisms $P_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ (for heights, in particular) we have $k= \frac{height\ of \ P_{1} }{height \ of\ P_{2} }$ . In our case $k= \frac{4}{10} = \frac{2}{5}$ .
For surfaces area we have $\frac{Surface \ area \ of \ P_{1} }{Surface \ area \ of \ P_{2}} = k^{2} =( \frac{2}{5} )^{2}= \frac{4}{25}$ .
So, the right answer is 4:25 (choice B)
