3) Mr Peterson bought a case (24 boxes) of fruit juice. One-third of the drinks were
grape and two-thirds were cranberry How many boxes of each flavor did Mr.
Peterson buy?

8 grape and 16 cranberry

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, we need to know what one-third of 24 boxes are; we'd then do 24 divided by 3, which is equal to 8. One-third of them were grape so we know 8 are grape. Cranberry makes up the other two-thirds; two-thirds is equal to one-third times 2. 8 (one-third) times 2 is 16, giving our answer of 16 cranberry.

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
