Triangle ABC is similar to triangle XYZ find the missing side x using proportions

x=2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to set this problem up proportionally, you have to make sure to set the triangles correspondingly.

AC/BC=XY/YZ

50/40=x/20 Solve for x, you can use cross multiply method

40x=100

x= 2.5

1/800 is the right answer

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.
