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.

What's the correct formula for this function? ​
Reptile [31]

Answer:

Option C. y = -2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

When we look at this function we see that it has a negative slope and the y-intercept is equal to (0,3).  From this we know that the function we are looking for will be looking like...

y = mx + 3

And as I said earlier since the slope is negative, the only right option is this case will be Option C

Bruce has a bottle that contains 60% lemon juice and the rest water. The bottle has 1 liter of water.
Cloud [144]

<span>part A:
Let 
t =  total the liquid in the bottle including lemon juice and water
so t =  lemon juice + water ( w = water, l = lemon juice) so t = l + w
but the bottle has 1 liter of water. and <span>60% lemon juice
</span>contains 60% lemon juice = 0.6, so l = 0.6t and w(water ) = 1 liter
t = l + w
substitute l = 0.6t and w = 1 into t = l + w
now you have equation
t = 0.6t + 1

part B:
from part A, you have equation t = 0.6t +1
solve for t
 t = 0.6t +1
subtract 0.6t on both sides
t - 0.6t = 0.6t - 0.6t + 1
simplify
0.4t = 1
divide both sides by 0.4
0.4t/0.4 = 1/ 0.4
simplify
t = 2.5

2.5 liters is total including lemon juice and water
2.5 - 1(1 liter of water) = 1.5 <span>1 liter of lemon juice</span></span>

Which exponent makes this statement true? 1/5^9= 5^?
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The exponent -9  makes the given statement true.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an incomplete mathematical statement and we need to figure out the exponent for 5 on the right hand side to complete the statement.

The given incomplete statement is \frac{1}{5^{9}}=5^{?}.

Let us rewrite the left hand side of the expression by moving the exponential term to the numerator using exponent property. As per this property, if we shift an exponential term from denominator to numerator (or vice versa), the sign of exponent changes.

Therefore, we get:

5^{-9}=5^{?}

Now that we have common bases on both the sides, we can equate the exponents. And upon equating the exponents, we can see that the 'question mark' should be replaced by -9 in order for statement to be true.

Therefore, exponent -9 on the right hand side will make the statement true.
