Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:   6  26  18  13

The two outside angles are congruent.  The two inside angles are supplemental thus they are equal.  The last two angles the high one and the lower one must sum to 180° in their respective triangles so they are equal since their similar angles are equal.

find x

4 is to x as 5 is to 7.5

   4/x = 5/7.5      solve for x

   4 × 7.5 / 5  = x

    30 / 5  =  x

       6 = x

1/4 of Mai’s height is equal to 2/5 of Jon’s height. Find the ratio of Mai’s height to Jon’s height.
nasty-shy [4]

1/4th of Mai’s height is equal to 2/5th of Jon’s height

Let 'x' represent Mai's height and 'y' represent Jon's height.

Therefore, 1/4th of "x" should be equal to 2/5th of "y". This gives us the following equation :

(1/4)x = (2/5)y

multiply both sides by 4/y

x/y = 4*(2/5)

x/y = 8/5

x:y = 8:5

The ratio of Mai's s height to Jon's height is 8 to 5

Answer:

y = 1.6 x

y = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of a direct variation is

y = k x

In this case

x = 10

y = 16

y = k*x

16 = 10*k

16/10 =  k

k = 1.6

y = 1.6x

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

Let x = 15

y = 1.6 * 15

y = 24
