Answer:

96 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a proportion using the following setup.

scale / actual = scale / actual

The scale is 5 cm to 60 km.

5cm / 60 km= scale/ actual

The distance on the map is 8 cm, but the actual distance is unknown. Therefore, we can say the actual distance is x km.

5 cm/ 60 km= 8 cm/ x km

5/60=8/x

Cross multiply. Multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second. Then, multiply the denominator of the first by the numerator of the second.

(5*x)=(8*60)

5x=8*60

5x=480

5 and x are being multiplied. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the equation by 5.

5x/5=480/5

x=480/5

x=96

x= 96 km

The actual distance between the two points is 96 kilometers.

The bigger of two numbers is four more
Otrada [13]

Answer:

X=the smaller

y=the larger

The bigger of two numbers is four more than the smaller, then:

y=x+4

one more than twice the smaller is the same as the larger, then

1+2x=y

We have the following system of equations:

y=x+4

y=2x+1

We solve this system by equal values method:

x+4=2x+1

x-2x=1-4

-x=-3

x=3

We find the value of "y"now:

y=x+4

y=3+4

y=7

the values of x and y are:

x=3

y=7

f^2g^3 / f^3g^2 = g/f

f*f/f^2 = f^2 / f^2 = 1

Answer:

f^2g^3 / f^3g^2

What is 22% of 64.82
Phantasy [73]
