4 0

We know that

the length of Q is 25% more than the length of p
so
length Q=1.25*40--------> 50 cm
the area of Q is 10% less than the area of p
Area Q=50*y
Area P=40*x
so
50*y=0.90*[40*x]---------> 50*y=36*x-------> x/y=50/36---> 25/18

the answer
the ratio x:y is 25:18

Alright, if the original scale was 1 inch = 8 miles, and Dale's house to his school are 1 1/2 inches apart, let's find the amount of miles.

Here's a fast way. 1 inch is 8 miles, and half of 8 equals 4 miles, which is 1/2 of an inch., 8 + 4 = 12 miles.

So if his house and the school were 12 miles apart, and we we're using the 1 inch. = 6 miles scale, then it'd be 2 inches on the map.

How?

If 1 inch. = 6 miles
x inches = 12 miles

12/6 = 2

2 inches = x
