Answer:

4 (as in 25/4)

Explanation:

Write and solve an equation of ratios:

x 15

------ = ------

10 24

Then 24x = 150, and x = 150/24 = 6.25. This is equivalent to 25/4.

Answer:

x = 25/4

Explanation:

If the rectangles are similar, the ratio of the side lengths have to be similar

10 24

------ = --------

x 15

Using cross products

10*15 = 24*x

150=24x

Divide each side by 24

150/24=24x/24

150/24=x

Divide the top and bottom by 6

25/4 = x
