Considering the definition of map and scale, an actual distance of 269.59 km represent a scale distance of 5.7 inches .

<h3>Definition of map and scale</h3>

A map is a representation of a place, at a size smaller than the real size.

The scale of a cartographic representation is the relationship of similarity between the real dimensions of the geographical space represented and those of its image on the map. That is, the scale is defined as the proportionality relationship that exists between a distance measured on the ground and its corresponding measurement on the map.

One way to represent the scale is by a fraction, which indicates the proportion between the distance on a map and its corresponding distance in reality:

Scale=\frac{distance on the map}{distance in reality}

<h3>Actual distance in this case</h3>

In this case, you know that a scale distance of 3.5 inches on a map represent an actual distance of 175 km.

To know the real distance that represents a scale distance of 5.7 inches, as the scale ratio is the same as in the previous case, it is expressed:

\frac{3.7 inches}{175 km}=\frac{5.7 inches}{distance in reality}

Solving:

\frac{3.7 inches}{175 km}×distance in reality= 5.7 inches

distance in reality= \frac{5.7 inches}{\frac{3.7 inches}{175 km}}

<u><em>distance in reality= 269.59 km</em></u>

In summary, an actual distance of 269.59 km represent a scale distance of 5.7 inches .

What is 12/24 - 10/23
Elodia [21]
The LCD of 24 and 23 is 552, so 276/552 - 240/552 = 36. After simplifying 36/552, you get 3/46 and that is your answer.

Why is 4b-7-3b+9 equal to b+2
rodikova [14]
The first expression can be simplified by combining like terms.

First, the terms "4b" and "-3b" can be combined to form "b"
Then, the terms "-7" and "9" can be combined to form "2"

Finally, we simply put these two final terms together, to form "b+2"

Hence, 4b-7-3b+9 is equal to be + 2.

Hope this helps!

Completely simplify the expression 4x+10+6x+2x4x+10+6x+2x
oksian1 [2.3K]
<span>Simplifying 4x + 20 = 6x + -10 Reorder the terms: 20 + 4x = 6x + -10 Reorder the terms: 20 + 4x = -10 + 6x Solving 20 + 4x = -10 + 6x Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-6x' to each side of the equation. 20 + 4x + -6x = -10 + 6x + -6x Combine like terms: 4x + -6x = -2x 20 + -2x = -10 + 6x + -6x Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0 20 + -2x = -10 + 0 20 + -2x = -10 Add '-20' to each side of the equation. 20 + -20 + -2x = -10 + -20 Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0 0 + -2x = -10 + -20 -2x = -10 + -20 Combine like terms: -10 + -20 = -30 -2x = -30 Divide each side by '-2'. x = 15 Simplifying x = 15</span>

A group of friends wants to go to the amusement
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The maximum amount of people that can go to the amusement park is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you create an equation to represent the question

8.75+25.75x≤420

You put the less than or equal to sign because 420 is the maximum amount of money.

Now you just solve the equation.

25.75x≤420-8.75

25.75x≤411.25

x≤411.25/25.75

x≤15.9708738

Then you have to round down because you cant have .9 of a person.

So x≤15

Then, Check your solution

8.75+(25.75 x 15)≤420

8.75+386.25≤420

395≤420

That is true. But to make sure that is the maximum add another 25.75

395+25.75≤420

420.75≤420

This is equation is false so, our answer is correct.

The maximum amount of people that can go to the amusement park is 15.
