Question

Segment RS is parallel to sement TU. If the splope of RS 5/8 and the slope of TU x/24 the value of x is 1) 20 2) 15 3)10 4)5

Answer 1

2)15

5/8=x/24 as they are parallel
24/8=3 That is how much to multiply 5 by to find the equivalent fraction.
5x3=15

so the answer is x=15, as 15/24=5/8.
