The actual distance between cities is 580 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Map distance = 7\frac{1}{4} inches = \frac{29}{4}\ inches

Scale used;

\frac{1}{2}\ inches = 40\ miles

Multiplying both sides by 2

2*\frac{1}{2}=40*2\\1\ inch = 80\ miles\\

Now,

\frac{29}{4}\ inches = \frac{29}{4}*80\\\\\frac{29}{4}=29*20\\\\\frac{29}{4}\ inches = 580\ miles

The actual distance between cities is 580 miles.

A car went 64 miles on 2 gallons of gas in the morning, 16 miles on 1/2 gallon of gas at noon, and 32 miles on 1 gallon of gas a
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Yes,

Step-by-step explanation:

You take 64 miles for 2 gallons and divide it by 2. And it leads up to 32 miles and 1 gallon. Now you divide that by 2 again and get 16 miles and 1/2 gallon. So, to check that you can take 16+16 and you get 32 and take 32+32 and you get 64.

A 12 oz bottle of shampoo last 16 weeks. How long would you expect an 18 oz bottle to last
jenyasd209 [6]
If a 12 oz bottle of shampoo lasted for 16 weeks, we have a ratio of 12:16 which can be shortened to 3:4.

Now if we have 18 oz bottle we know that it's 1/2 more than 12 oz bottle, so the ratio will be also 1/2 more. So if it was 12:16, the new ratio will be:

12 + (1/2 * 12) : 16 + (1/2 * 16)
12 + 6 : 16 + 8
18 : 24

It means that 18 oz bottle should last for 24 weeks. Of course the ratio has to stay the same in its lowest form in both situations and as 18:24 can be shortened to 3:4, it proves it's correct :)
