Need help with checking my answer, I think it's C.

OpenStudy (liv1234):

OpenStudy (michaelalex292):

When I do the work, I get an answer of B: \[\frac{ 12 }{ 40 } = \frac{ 3 }{ x }\] Set it as a proportion to solve for sides on similar figures

OpenStudy (michaelalex292):

x = 10

OpenStudy (liv1234):

So, you cross multiplied and got 120=12 and then divided and got 10? @MichaelAlex292

OpenStudy (michaelalex292):

120 = 12x x = 10 Yes

OpenStudy (liv1234):

Can you help me with another question?

OpenStudy (michaelalex292):

Let me see it first

OpenStudy (liv1234):

@sourwing was the first question I posted on here B? I just wanna double check with you. I just wanna be sure.

OpenStudy (michaelalex292):

Yep, B is correct, do you need to know why?

OpenStudy (liv1234):

Well, no I understand since I did out the work. And thank you, but can you help me with that question I just posted? And I understand why C was wrong.

OpenStudy (michaelalex292):

For the one you just posted, B is correct: \[\frac{ 1 cm }{ 10 ft } = \frac{ 5.2 cm }{ x ft }\] Solve for x

OpenStudy (liv1234):

So, 52?

OpenStudy (liv1234):

But is it centimeters or feet?

OpenStudy (michaelalex292):

52 ft, Yes

OpenStudy (liv1234):

Centimeters or feet?

OpenStudy (michaelalex292):

ft

OpenStudy (michaelalex292):

its converting cm to ft

OpenStudy (liv1234):

Are you sure? 100%?

OpenStudy (michaelalex292):

Yes 100% sure

@Nnesha Can you double check these?
