Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see that the bottom side is equivalent to 3 of the smallest triangle and the side of the larger triangle is equivalent to the 9

This represents that it is dilated by 3 factor

= 3 × 3

= 9

Now the other side i.e. 5 of the smallest triangle also need to be dilated by a 3 factor

So the new side is 15

Also the largest triangle is x + 1

So,

15 = x + 1

x = 14

If twelve pounds of nails cost $3.84 what is the unit cost A) 32c B) 28c C) 23c D) 18c

aalyn [17]

Answer:

Option A) 32c

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find the unit cost, divide the total cost of twelve pounds by twelve pounds

$\frac{\$3.84}{12}=\$0.32$

Remember that

1$=100 cents

Convert dollars to cents

$\$0.32=0.32*100=32c$

therefore

The cost of one pound of nails cost 32 cents
