The answer is “B” because if you do the work correctly that will be your outcome
Answer:
2/3 or in decimal form which is 0.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The correct answer is - Ben is 8.
Since Ben is 4 times older than Ishaan, but also we know the fact that Ben is 6 years older than Ishaan, that leaves us with only one number as the possible solution, the number 8.
In order to get to the result we should find a number that multiplied by four and summed up with six, gives the same result.
4 x 2 = 8
2 + 6 = 8
Knowing now that the age of Ben is 8, we can also conclude that the number used for multiplying and summing, 2, is the number that represents the age of Ishaan.
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangles ABC and DEC are similar triangles. We can prove this using the AA similarity theorem (angle A & angle D are congruent right angles; angle ACB & angle DCE are congruent vertical angles)
Because they are similar triangles, we can form the proportion below and solve for x to get...
AC/CD = BC/CE
2/5 = 3.61/x
2*x = 5*3.61
2*x = 18.05
2*x/2 = 18.05/2
x = 9.025
So EC is roughly 9.025 miles long
This means,
distance from Marc's house to Lewis's house = length of BE
distance from Marc's house to Lewis's house = (length of BC) + (length of EC)
distance from Marc's house to Lewis's house = (3.61) + (9.025)
distance from Marc's house to Lewis's house = 12.635
So the answer is choice D) 12.62 as this is the closest value to 12.635
