Answer:
The equation would be y = 6.5x-8
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the ratio of 1/2 inch: 18 miles
Multiply both sides of the ratio by 2. I'm doing this so that the "1/2" turns into "1"
So we go from this ratio
1/2 inch: 18 miles
to this ratio
1 inch: 36 miles
which means that every inch on paper represents 36 miles in real life
----------------------------------------------------------------
The question is now: if two towns are 2.5 inches apart on paper, then how far are they in real life? (note: 2.5 is the decimal form of 2 and a half)
To find out, multiply both sides by 2.5
1 inch: 36 miles
2.5*(1 inch): 2.5*(36 miles)
2.5 inches: 90 miles
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The two towns are 90 miles apart in real life
It’s A took this test before
250. 7*50=350 and the least 3-digit multiple of 10 is 100 (10*10). 350-100=250
