6 scholars share 39 chicken nuggets so that each scholar gets the same amount of nuggets. How many nuggets does each scholar
get?

6 and a half each

Step-by-step explanation:

39 divided by 6 is 6.5

Therefore, they get 6 nuggets and a half each equally.

Step-by-step explanation:

These triangles are similar. That means that the corresponding side lengths exist in proportion to one another.  Namely,

Filling in those values gives us

and cross multiply to solve:

9(140 - x) = 81x and

1260 - 9x = 81x and

1260 = 90x so

x = 14

That means that side length AC is 140 - 14 which is 126. Choice B.
