Step-by-step explanation:
step 1: how many dolphins
there are 6 sharks
sharks to dolphins is 3 to 5
3 S to 5 D
we can divide 6 (amount of sharks known) by 3, to get what a ratio of 1 is
6 ÷ 3 = 2
so 2 sharks is = 1 part or ratio
now we can times by 5 to get a ratio of 5
5 × 2 = 10
there are 10 Dolphins
Step 2: How many starfish
repeat the steps above but for the ratio 2: 7 where 2 is the Dolfin ratio and there are 10 dolphins

Answer:
x = 7 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The smaller triangle is 6/9 = 2/3 the size of the larger triangle, so the left side is ...
(x -2) = (2/3)(8)
3(x -2) = 16 . . . . . multiply by 3 to clear fractions
3x -6 = 16 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
3x = 22 . . . . . . . . add 6; next divide by 3*
x = 22/3 = 7 1/3 . . . . . feet
_____
* Note that we multiplied by 3, then divided by 3. If you're comfortable working with fractions and/or mixed numbers, these steps are unnecessary. The answer is simply x = 2 + 16/3 = 22/3.
Since they are similar both dimensions would have the same ratio. The ratio of 5 and 15 is 3. 15 is 3 times larger than 5, so the unknown dimension is 3 times larger than the known dimension.
3 x 10 = 30
The unknown dimension is 30
Answer:
4x - 15
