Answer:
- x/45 = 9 m/30
- x = 13.5 . . . meters
Step-by-step explanation:
In similar triangles, corresponding sides are proportional. This lets us write an equation involving x. Sides adjacent are proportional to sides opposite the vertical angle.
x/45 = 9/30
__
Multiplying by 45 gives the solution:
x = 45(9/30) = 13.5 . . . meters
3/4 = 45/60, 4/5 = 48/60, 2/3 = 40/ 60
The cost per pound was roughly $0.41.
