Answer:

The actual distance between the cities is 211.67 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The map key indicates that 4.5 cm is equivalent to 75 cm.

Now, to find the actual distance between the cities if the cities are 12.7 cm apart on the map.

Let the actual distance be x.

So, we set a proportion to find the actual distance:

4.5:12.7 = 75:x.

<em>Changing into fractions.</em>

\frac{4.5}{12.7} =\frac{75}{x}

<em>By cross multiplication we get:</em>

4.5x=952.5

<em>Dividing both sides by 4.5 we get:</em>

x=211.67

Therefore, the actual distance between the cities is 211.67 cm.

A group of students takes a test and the average score is 72. One more student takes the test and receives a score of 88 increas
Stells [14]

Answer:

3 student.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the first statement:

Let the total score be T

Let the total number of student be x

The average of the score = 72

Average = Tota score / number of student

72 = T/x

Cross multiply

T = 72x ..... (1)

Second statement:

One more student took the test and the average becomes 76 with the student having a score of 88.

Therefore,

Overall score = T + 88

Total student = x + 1

Average = 76

Average = overall score / total number of student

76 = (T + 88) /(x + 1)

Cross multiply

76(x + 1) = T + 88

Clear bracket

76x + 76 = T + 88

From equation 1

T = 72x

76x + 76 = 72x + 88

Collect like terms

76x – 72x = 88 – 76

4x = 12

Divide both side by the coefficient of x i.e 4

x = 12/4

x = 3

Therefore, the initial number of the student were 3.
