Answer:
x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
, substitute values
=
( cross- multiply )
56(3x - 5) = 32(5x - 5) ← distribute and simplify both sides
168x - 280 = 160x - 160 ( subtract 160x from both sides )
8x - 280 = - 160 ( add 280 to both sides )
8x = 120 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = 15
We have 1.5 hours 30 minutes = 120 minutes;
1 hour 15 minutes = 75 minutes;
1.25 minutes = 85 minutes;
75 < 85 < 120
The median is 85 minutes.
Finally, 1 hour 15 minutes is the median.
