Answer:

13 and 65

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 5x = 78

(because u want a piece (x) and a piece that's five times longer than x- so 5x. and they should come from a 78 inch piece)

6x = 78

x = 78 / 6

x= 13

(to counter check:  13 * 5 = 65.  

                               65 + 13 = 78  )

One piece is 13, the bigger piece is 65!

we know this because if one piece is 13, the piece 5 times bigger is (65), and 65+ 13 is 78.

Are all parallel lines congruent?
Virty [35]

Answer:

Line segments are congruent if they have the same length. However, they need not be parallel. They can be at any angle or orientation on the plane. In the figure above, there are two congruent line segments. If you drag any of the four endpoints, the other segment will change length to remain congruent with the one you are changing.

Here is a list of four fractions 1/16 2/8 15/60 3/9
aleksley [76]

Answer:

3/9

Step-by-step explanation:

15*4= 60 so 15/60 is equivalent to 1/4.

1/16 is just a smaller equivalent of 2/8 which is just a smaller equivaent of 1/4.

3/9 simplified is 1/3. I/s is bigger than 1/4.

Hope this helps
