Divide 10 actual miles by 1.2 miles:

10 / 1.2 = 8.333

multiply that by 3 inches:

8.333 x 3 = 25

10 miles would be 25 inches on the map.

Answer: 25 inches on the map represent 10 actual miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to express the information given in ratios:

3 inches represent 1.2 miles = 3/12

x inches represent 10 miles= x/10

Since the ratios are the same

3/1.2 = x/10

Solving for x

(3/1.2) 10 = x

25 inches =x

25 inches on the map represent 10 actual miles.

Given the coordinates below, what is the midpoint of AB? A(-6, -10) B(2,5)

madreJ [45]

Given :

$\:$

A(-6, -10)
B( 2, 5)

$\:$

$\gray{ \frak{The \: given \: two \: \: points \: are(x_{1 },y_{1})=(−6 , -10)and(x_{ 2 },y_{2} )=( 2,5 )\:}}$

$\:$

Let's solve by using midpoint formula :

$\:$

$\bf \boxed{\color{red}\frak{Midpoint \: \: Formula : {( \: x ,\:y \: ) = }( \frak{ \frac{x_{1 } + y_{1}}{2} , \frac{x_{2 } + y_{2}}{2} )}}}$

$\:$

$\large \gray{ \frak{( \: x ,\:y \: ) = }( \frak{ \frac{ -6 + 2}{2} , \frac{ - 10 + 5}{2} )}}$

$\:$

$\: \large \gray{ \frak{( \: x ,\:y \: ) = }( \frak{ \frac{ -4}{2} , \frac{ - 5}{2} )}}$

$\:$

$\large \gray{ \frak{( \: x ,\:y \: ) = }( \frak{ \cancel\frac{ -4}{2} , \cancel\frac{ - 5}{2} )}}$

$\: \:$

$\underline{ \boxed{ \large \red{ \frak{option \: d }( \frak{ - 2, - 2.5)}}}}✓$

Hope Helps! :)

The difference between the set of non-negative real numbers and the set of positive real numbers is:

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

C; A singleton set

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, when a number is non-negative; it is either positive or zero

Now, this is because 0 identifies as neither a positive or a negative number

hence, when we find the difference between the two sets, the only number that stands out unmatched is the value 0

What this mean is that we are having a set with a single number result

So we have our answer as {0}

Which is a singleton set
