A shape that is similar to another shape will be enlarged by a scale factor.
Each corresponding sides should give the same scale factor
Side GI corresponds to side JL
Side GH corresponds to side JK
Side HI corresponds to side KL
The correspond sides whose length are given is
GH = 4 and JK = 8
Side JK is twice longer than GH
All the other sides of triangle JKL are twice longer than triangle GHI, so we want that the side JL to be twice of the sides GI
Side GI = 6
Side JL = 6 × 2 = 12
Answer: y = 12
Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number.
Set up an equation:
2x - 2/3x = 20
Simplify:
1 1/3x = 20
Divide both sides by 1 1/3
X = 15
The number is 15
Answer:
The answer to your question is cost of 0.6 pound of candy $4.17
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
1 pound of candy = $6.95
only 0.6 pounds
final cost = ?
Process
1.- Use proportions to find the cost of 0.6 pounds of candy
1 pound of candy -------------- $6.95
0.6 pound of candy ---------- x
2.- Use cross multiplication
x = (0.6 x 6.95) / 1
3.- Simplification and result
x = $ 4.17
