Two different sized triangles have a scale factor of 2:3. If the hypotenuse ( the longest side ) of the bigger triangle measures 24 inches, what is the length in inches of the hypotenuse of the smaller triangle? Can someone please help me with this question

16 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 part of the ratio represents 24 inches.

Dividing by 3 gives the value of one part of the ratio.

24 in ÷ 3 = 8 in ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

2 parts = 2 × 8 in = 16 in ← hypotenuse of smaller triangle

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
