Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is

1 inch : 100 miles

0.5 inch : X miles

1/100 = 0.5/X

X = 0.5 ÷ 1/100

X = 0.5 × 100/1

X = 50

Scale : 1in is 100 miles

If you look at it as a fraction, where the distances on the map equal the actual distances, you get this:

1/0.5 = 100/x

x is the unknown, because you don't know what 0.5 in is equal to. From here, you can cross-multiply to get x.

1 * x = 100 * 0.5

x = 50 (because 0.5 = 1/2 and half of 100 is 50)

Therefore, 0.5in = 50 miles in real life.

A simpler way to think about it is like this:

1in = 100 miles

0.5in = ?

To get 0.5in from 1in, you divide by 2. That means to get from 100 to the ?, you also divide by 2 because the two equations are proportional.

100/2 = 50.

Verdich [7]

The number of apples there are in the basket as described in the task content is; 20 apples.

<h3>What is the number of apples there are in the basket?</h3>

Inference drawn from the task content show that;

  • The ratio of apples to oranges in the basket is; 5:4. making the total partitions be 9.

On this note, we must identify a number divisible by 9 between 30 and 40.

The number is 36 and once divided by 9 is 4 units per partition.

On this note, the total number of apples in the basket is; 4 × 5 = 20 apples.

What is the value of y in this system of equations: 3x + y = 9 y = –4x + 10 ?
Ahat [919]
<span>3x + y = 9 (I)
</span><span>y = –4x + 10 (II)
------------------------
</span>\left \{ {{3x + y = 9 } \atop {y = -4x + 10 }} \right.

Pass the incognito "4x" to the first term, changing the signal when changing sides.
<span>-------------------------
simplify by (-1)
</span>\left \{ {{3x + y = 9.(-1)} \atop {4x + y = 10 }} \right.<span>

-------------------------
</span>\left \{ {{- 3x - \diagup\!\!\!\!y =-9} \atop {4x + \diagup\!\!\!\!y = 10}} \right.     &#10;
<span>
-------------------------
</span>\left \{ {{- 3x = - 9} \atop {4x = 10}} \right.<span>

-----------
</span>\boxed{x = 1}<span><span>

</span></span><span>Substitute in equation (I) to find the value of "Y".

</span>3x + y = 9 (I)
3*(1) + y = 9
3 + y = 9
y = 9 - 3
\boxed{y = 6}

Answer:
\boxed{\boxed{ \left \ {{x=1} \atop {y=6}} \right. }}
