Question:
A route from point A to point B. 1 inch on the map equals 25 miles.
Manuel is leaving Boston to go on a hike at Mt. Monadnock, in New Hampshire. He mapped out a route with the map scale of 1 in. = 25 mi and found the total distance on the map to be about 3.2 inches. What is the actual distance Manuel will travel?
Answer:
Point A to point B - 1 inch on the map = 25 miles - <u>80</u> Miles
Step-by-step explanation:
I believe that the value of x is equal to 4
Given that the ship was traveling for 4 mph faster heading west than south then let the speed of the ship heading south be x mph, the speed of the ship heading west will be (x+4) mph
the distance is given by:
distance=speed*time
distance heading south was:
x*4=4x miles
distance heading west was:
5(x+4)=5x+20
thus the total distance will be given by:
4x+(5x+20)=191
9x+20=191
9x=191-20
9x=171
x=171/9
x=19 mph
the speed the ship used to travel west was:
x+4
=19+4
=21 mph
