Answer:

The distance between Earth and its moon is about 238,667\ km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y ------> Saturn’s rings span up

x -----> the distance between the Earth and its moon

we know that

The linear equation that represent this situation is

y=\frac{3}{4}x -----> equation A

y=179,000\ km -----> equation B

substitute B in equation A and solve for x

179,000=\frac{3}{4}x

Multiply by 4/3 both sides

x=179,000(\frac{4}{3})

x=238,667\ km

Which of the following statements is true only if triangles EFI and GFH are similar?
igomit [66]

Answer: Choice B

FH/FI = HG/IE

================================================

Explanation:

We're told that triangles EFI and GFH are similar. The order of the lettering is important because it tells us how the angles pair up.

  • E and G pair up because they are the first letters of EFI and GFH
  • F and F pair up as they are the second letters
  • I and H pair up because they are the third letters

This means

  • E = G
  • F = F
  • I = H

Furthermore, it means

  • EF corresponds to FG
  • FI corresponds to FH
  • IE corresponds to GH

Focus on the last two items of the list above. We can then form the proportion

FI/FH = IE/GH

which is the same as

FH/FI = GH/IE

when we apply the reciprocal to both sides. Since HG is the same as GH, we can then say

FH/FI = HG/IE

So basically the corresponding sides create equal ratios to form this proportion. There are many other proportions that can be formed.

Describe a real life multiplication situation for which an estimate makes sense
Drupady [299]
If you are trying to create a garden of potted plants, you would find out how much soil each pot needs/holds and multiply that by how many pots you plan to use. then you would go to the store for potting soil, which let’s say came in smaller packs and you need to purchase multiple. use multiplication estimation to estimate how many bags you’d need.
I know this is a dumb example...sorry this is one I remember from my fourth grade math teacher ahah
