Answer:

x = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding sides of similar triangles will be in same ratio.

$\dfrac{x}{x+18}=\dfrac{20}{28}$

Cross multiply

x*28 = 20*(x+18) {Use distributive method}

28x = 20x + 360

28x - 20x = 360

8x = 360

x = 360/8

x = 45

jester has a piece of wood measuring 1 and 2/3 m.he needs to cut in pieces measuring 3/4 m long.how many pieces of wood did jest

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

2 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Length = 1\frac{2}{3}m$

$Pieces = \frac{3}{4}m$

Required

Calculate the number of pieces

To do this, we have to divide the length of the wood by the length of each piece.

Represent this with x

$x= \frac{Length}{Pieces}$

$x= 1\frac{2}{3}/\frac{3}{4}$

Convert mixed numbers to improper fraction

$x= \frac{5}{3}/\frac{3}{4}$

Change division to multiplication

$x= \frac{5}{3}*\frac{4}{3}$

$x= \frac{20}{9}$

$x = 2.22$
