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

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

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
