While the others cannot be expressed in the form of decimals.

So the correct answer is:

B. weight of a bag of apples ..

Consider △RST and △RYX. If the triangles are similar, which must be true? A. RY/YS=RX/XT=XY/TS B.RY/RS=RX/RT=XY/TS C.RY/RS=RX/RT

Answer:

B.RY/RS=RX/RT=XY/TS

Step-by-step explanation:

If Triangles RST and RYX are similar, then the ratio of their corresponding sides is:

$\dfrac{RS}{RY}= \dfrac{ST}{YX}=\dfrac{RT}{RX}\\$This could also be written by switching the numerator and denominators as:\\\dfrac{RY}{RS}= \dfrac{XY}{TS}=\dfrac{RX}{RT}$
