Like how does it work?

xA =6B

Answer 9

I dont relly see what u mean

similar means the sides of one shape is smaller by some proportion

how much smaller is 3 than 4

Answer 13

1

Answer 14

as a proportion

Answer 15

like 4 is 2 times bigger than 2

Answer 16

so 4 is how many times bigger than 3?

Answer 17

Oh well 1 i guess i mean it makes sense right?

Answer 18

3*1=3 not 4

im not taking about the absolution difference in their sizes, but the "proportional" difference

Answer 20

:/ sooo 2 times ?

Answer 21

3*2=6 not 4

Answer 22

3*what =4?

Answer 23

give me a sec ill get my calc out

Answer 24

okay

Answer 25

1.5 i guess is the closest

Answer 26

no thats not close enough

Answer 27

or 1.2

Answer 28

3 x 1.2 = 4.2

Answer 29

3*what=4
now both sides of the equal sign are equal as stated
if i divide both side by 3, nothing changes right

Answer 30

ya

Answer 31

i mean the leftside = rightside if i do the same operation to both sides, the equality should stay the same

Answer 32

(3*what)/3=(4)/3

Answer 33

we divide both side by 3 and they are still equal since they were equal to begin with

Answer 34

Ok
