An average ant is 1/4 inch long. an average aphid is 3/32 inch long. how many times longer is an average ant that an average aphid. put in simplest form

An average ant is times longer than an average aphid

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> an average ant long

y-----> an average aphid long

we have

we know that

convert to mixed number

therefore

isolate the variable x

congruent segments

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
