Answer:
9.6 (D)
Step-by-step explanation:
You know that when they are similar, they have a ratio. Assume that WT is x. 6:10 is the ratio, or 3:5.
So, what number is x when x:16=3:5?
(two ways)
1. You can cross multiply
x/16 = 3:5, 3x16=5x
48=5x
x=9.6
2. You can do it by looking at the answer choices and simplifying them.
10:16=5:8
NO
3.8:16=1.9:8
NO
12:16=3:4
NO
9.6:16=4.8:8=
2.4:4
0.6:1
6:10
YES
