Close, but not 3.25.

Look at MP and KP. How long in MK?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
14
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
Once you find MK, enter all the known values in the proportion below and solve for JN.
\( \dfrac{LJ}{JN} = \dfrac{MK}{KP} \)

14 is correct. Now do the next step above.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so. wat do i do with them
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
Replace all segments in theproportion by the known values.
LJ = 8
MK = 14
KP = 6
JN is still unknown so it remains as JN.
Now solve for JN by cross multiplying.
\( \dfrac{8}{JN} = \dfrac{14}{6} \)
