Melanie had 4 2/3 pounds of chopped walnuts. She used 1 1/4 pounds in a recipe. How many pounds of chopped walnuts did she have left?

Step-by-step explanation:

To make the denominator the same on both sides you need to multiply 1/4 by three and make it 3/12 and multiply 2/3 by four to get 8/12 and then you just subtract to get 3 5/12

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
