I like using decimals instead of fractions.
1/8: 0.125
So the scale is:
0.125 in: 1.5 mi
What you do to one side you have to do to the other side. We have the map distance, which is 2.5. Let's see what it was multiplied by to find the map distance of their houses.
2.5÷ 0.125= 20
Let's multiply the other side by 20.
20×1.5
30
So, Juanita and Lindsey live 30 minutes away.

vitfil [10]

Answer: x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality 2x + 1 < 5 you can follow these steps to solve it:

- The first step is:

Subtract 1 from both sides on the inequaltity.

Then:

2x + 1-(1) < 5-(1)\\\\2x < 4

- The second  and final step is:

Divide both sides of the inequality by 2.

Therefore, you get:

\frac{2x}{2}

Assign two variables for each problem, and write the equations. Do not solve.
NemiM [27]
Price of boots is represented as x, price of tennis shoes is represented as y. x-y=44.38 x+y=196.12 Isolate x. (Or y, if you wanted to) x=y+44.38 x=196.12-y Set them equal to each other. y+44.38=196.12-y Solve for y. Then plug it in to either of the two original equations to find x. x=120.24 y=75.86 Note: This is assuming that the boots are more expensive than the tennis shoes. If the tennis shoes are more expensive than the boots, then the prices would be switched. I didn't find this clear in your question.

How do you solve 26/57= 849/5x
sergeinik [125]
If you would like to solve 26/57 = 849/5x, you can do this using the following steps:

<span>26/57 = 849/5x          /*(5x)
</span>26/57 * (5x) = 849     /*57
26 * 5x = 849 * 57    /26
5x = 48393/26        /5
x = <span>48393/(26*5)
x = 372.25

The correct result would be </span><span>372.25.</span><span>
</span>
