What is the similarity ratio of △WXY to △GEF?
Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or whole number.
If two triangles are similar, their similarity ratio is the ratio between a side length in the first triangle and the corresponding side length in the second triangle.

Answer: the rate of the jet in still air is 685 mph and the rate of the jetstream is 75 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the rate of the jet in still air.
Let y represent the rate of the jet jetstream.
Distance = speed × time
Flying against the jetstream, a jet travels 3050 miles in 5 hours. This means that the total speed of the jet would be (x - y) mph. Therefore,
3050 = 5(x - y)
3050/5 = x - y
x - y = 610 - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1
Flying with the jetstream, the same jet travels 3800 miles in 4 hours. This means that the total speed of the jet would be (x + y) mph. Therefore,
3800 = 4(x + y)
3800/5 = x + y
x + y = 760 - - - - - - - - - - - - - -2
Adding equation 1 to equation 2, it becomes
2x = 1370
x = 1370/2 = 685mph
Substituting x = 685 into equation 1, it becomes
685 - y = 610
y = 685 - 610 = 75mph
We can convert that into a fraction of 100 for the percentage.
4/20= 20/100
(multiply both by 5)
So, the basketball player makes 20% of the throws.
I hope this helps!

Answer:
x= 3/5 or x= 0.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
64*(1/4)^x
Step-by-step explanation:
64 is the starting number because it is given, and x represents how many rounds there are. 1/4 represents how much of the teams remain after each round.
