The scale on a map shows that 200 miles is represented by 5 inches on a map. Which proportion can be used to find the distance o
n the map, x, that represents 50 miles? StartFraction 5 over 200 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 50 EndFraction StartFraction 200 over 5 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 50 EndFraction StartFraction 50 over 200 EndFraction = StartFraction 5 over x EndFraction StartFraction 5 over 50 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 200 EndFraction
The proportion can be used to find the distance on the map (x) that represents 50 miles will be x/50 = 5 / 200. Then the correct option is A.
<h3>What are ratio and proportion?</h3>
A ratio is a collection of ordered integers a and b represented as a/b, with b never equaling zero. A proportionate expression is one in which two items are equal.
The scale on a map shows that 200 miles is represented by 5 inches on a map.
Then the proportion can be used to find the distance on the map (x) that represents 50 miles will be
x/50 = 5 / 200
Then the correct option is A.

V = C(1 - (T/N)).......for C ....multiply both sides by N NV = CN - CT NV = C(N - T) ...divide both sides by (N-T) NV / (N - T) = C
V = C(1 - (T/N))...for T ...multiply both sides by N NV = CN - CT ....subtract CN from both sides NV - CN = - CT....divide both sides by -C (NV - CN) / -C = T or (CN - NV)/ C = T
