Step-by-step explanation:
Corresponding sides in the triangles MOP and MNQ are
MO and MN,
OP and NQ,
PM and QM.
Ratios of the corresponding sides for similar triangles should be the same.
MQ/MP =MN/MO
MQ/(MQ+QP) = MN/(MN+NO)
5/(5+x) = 6/(6+18/5)
5*(6+18/5)=6(5+x)
30+18 = 30 +6x
18=6x
x=3 =QP
Answer:
8/5 or 1 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
2 2/5 = 12/5
1 1/2 = 3/2
Now that we have fractions that are easier to divide, one must understand that the opposite of dividing is multiplying. So if you multiply 12/5 by the reciprocal* of 3/2, which would be 2/3, you would get your answer so...
12 3 12 2 24 8 3
— ÷ — = — × — = — = — <em>or</em> 1 —
5 2 5 3 15 5 5
*the reciprocal is the opposite of the fraction you have. So the denominator would become the numerator, and vise versa.
