@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (aripotta):

make a proportion

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need the answer

OpenStudy (aripotta):

\[\frac{ JKL }{ MNO }\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }=\frac{ KL }{ 5 }\]cross-multiply and solve for x

OpenStudy (aripotta):

oh KL is x lol

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

as @AriPotta has well said, we have to write a proportion, namely: \[3:2=KL:5\] so \[2*KL=15\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

holy sh*t that is very complicated

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

and: \[KL=\frac{ 15 }{ 2 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (aripotta):

it's not really complicated :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just give me the answer plz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@AriPotta

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

since 15/2=7.5, your answer is C.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
