How do you solve problems with proportions?

Find the value of a. the diagram is not to scale. a quadrilateral is drawn. the upper and lower sides are parallel. the interior angle in the upper left corner is labeled a degrees. the angle in the upper right corner is labeled 113 degrees. the angle in the lower right corner is labeled b degrees. the angle in the lower left corner is labeled 36 degrees. a. 36 b. 144 c. 54 d. 126

Which composition of similarity transformations maps polygon abcd to polygon a'b'c'd'? a dilation with a scale factor less than 1 and then a reflection a dilation with a scale factor less than 1 and then a translation a dilation with a scale factor greater than 1 and then a reflection a dilation with a scale factor greater than 1 and then a translation

As part of an annual fundraiser to raise money for diabetes research, diane joined a bikeathon. the track she biked on was 1,920 yards long. diane biked 38.5 laps. her sponsors agreed to donate an amount of money for each mile she biked. how many miles did she bike? first fill in the blanks on the left side using the ratios shown. then write your answer. given ratios: 5280ft / 1 mi , 1 mi /5280 ft , 1,920 yards / 1 lap , 1 lap / 1,920 yards , 3 ft / 1 yard , 1 yard / 3 ft. blanks: 38.5 laps / 1 yard x (blank) x (blank) x (blank) = (blank) miles i'm really confused on how to do this, and the explanations aren't exactly . if you could walk me through how to do this, it would be greatly appreciated.
