Answer:
60 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
So if 1 inch = 12 miles, you need to find 4 inches. There are multiple ways to achieve this. However ratios/proportions might be easiest.
if 1/12 = 4/x, x is the value of miles. Cross multiply so you get this:
1 4
- = - = 60 = x
12 x
If x equals 60, that means that 4 inches equals 60 miles on the map.
You could also just find an equal fraction by multiplying the top and bottom both by 4.
A direct variation generally has the equation Y=KX
Because Mrs. Potts makes 5 dozen ravioli in 1 hour, this will be the K value.
(5 dozen/1 hr)
To figure out how many she can make in 2 1/2 hrs. You use 5 dozen/1 hr as the K value and multiply that by 2 1/2 hrs (the X value).
The hrs will cancel out and you will be left with the number of ravioli made in 2 1/2 hrs.
Answer:
Margret need to get 4 boxes of cookies.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total friends = 3
Cookies each friend will get = 8
Each box has cookies = 6 cookies
How many boxes does Margret need to get?
Total cookies will be= Total friends x Cookies each friend will get
Total cookies will be= 3 x 8 = 24
If one box has 6 cookies and we need total 24 cookies so, divide 24 by 6 to get number of boxes
Number of boxes = Total cookies/ number of cookies in one box
Number of boxes = 24/6
Number of boxes = 4
So, Margret need to get 4 boxes of cookies.
