Answer:
x = 20 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use similar triangles and ratios to solve
4.5 ft 6 ft
--------- = ---------------
15 ft x ft
Using cross products
4.5x = 15*6
4.5x =90
Divide each side by 4.5
4.5x/4.5 = 90/4.5
x =20
rate of blowing balloons of Alexa = 15/20 = 0.75
rate of blowing balloons of Sara = 18/25 = 0.72
rate of blowing balloons of Shirley= 16/21 = 0.76
rate of blowing balloons of Sam = 12/23 = 0.52
from above calculation we concluded Shirley can blow balloons at the fastest rate!
