On the school copy machine, Mr. Douglas reduced a triangle so that it would fit better in student portfolios. The shortest side of the triangle was 22cm; other measurements are shown in the diagram. How long was the longest side of the original triangle? Solve the proportion 22/8 = x/12 using the giant one method.

your answer would be 10x - 1

answer: first option i.e. 'a' is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

number of minutes to wrap a small gift box = 4 minutes

we need to find the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes

since there is a direct variation, as the number of minutes will increase with   number of gifts to be wrapped.

so, let the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes be x.

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.
