Answer:
20*30km = 600km
15*30km = 450km
600km * 450km = 270000 km^2
Step-by-step explanation:
assuming 1cm --- 30km causes that 2cm --- 60km, 3cm --- 90km, 4cm --- 120km etc. Notice that number of km's is 30 times greater than the number of cm's on a map
using this logic, you calculate both real dimensions of Colorado by multiplying 20*30 = 600 km and 15*30 = 450km
Then we use a formula of an area of a rectangle 
assuming 
and get 
which is an actual area of Colorado
2 x 10 4th power - 7 3rd power
2 x 10,000 - 343
20,000 - 343
19,657
I think this is the answer to your problem. Hope this helped!

Answer:
20 green pencils
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference between black and green "ratio units" is 7 -5 = 2. The difference between red and blue ratio units is 3 -2 = 1. The sum of those differences is 2 +1 = 3 ratio units, which represent 12 pencils. Then each ratio unit represents 12/3 = 4 pencils.
The 5 ratio units of green pencils represent 5·4 pencils = 20 green pencils.
_____
If you need an equation, you can use k as the constant of proportionality. Then the sum of differences described is ...
(7k -5k) + (3k -2k) = 12
3k = 12 . . . . simplify
k = 4 . . . . . . divide by 3
5k = 5·4 = 20 . . . . . number of green pencils
