Answer 1

Yup the person under me gave the corrrext answer I checked it’s what I got

Answer 2

Explanation:

Part A: Let see what number we can multiply by 3 to get 13.5

`3x = 13.5`

`x = 4.5`

so our answer is 4.5

Part B : Set up the proportion

3 and 13.5 correspond with each other and the question mark side corresponds with the 9 cm side.

let x = the side we are trying to find

`(3)/(x) = (13.5)/(9)`

Cross multiply

`27 = 13.5x`

`x = 2`

so our answer is 2.
