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.

Your coffee bar has two kinds of drink One cup of the first one costs 9 grams of juice , 4 grams of coffee and 3 grams of sugar

Answer:

How many drinks should be sold to get a maximal profit? 468

Sales of the first one = 345 cups

Sales of the second one = 123 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

maximize 1.2F + 0.7S

where:

F = first type of drink

S = second type of drink

constraints:

sugar ⇒ 3F + 10S ≤ 3000

juice ⇒ 9F + 4S ≤ 3600

coffee ⇒ 4F + 5S ≤ 2000

using solver the maximum profit is $500.10

and the optimal solution is 345F + 123S

Select all of the following graphs which represent y as a function of x

Elden [556K]

A, B, D, and E are correct.

What makes these a function and the others not is that for each x value, there is only one y value. For C, for example, there are multiple y values for the x value of -2. The same goes for F.

-5/4-(-1/6) help please

tiny-mole [99]

A way to add fractions that always works is to multiply each numerator by the denominator of the other, then express the sum of products over the product of the denominators.
$\dfrac{a}{b}+\dfrac{c}{d}=\dfrac{a}{b}\cdot\dfrac{d}{d}+\dfrac{c}{d}\cdot\dfrac{b}{b}\\\\=\dfrac{ad+bc}{bd}$

Here, you have
$\dfrac{-5}{4}-\dfrac{-1}{6}=\dfrac{-5\cdot6-(-1)\cdot4}{4\cdot6}=\dfrac{-26}{24}\\\\=\dfrac{-13}{12}=-1\frac{1}{12}$

The sum is -1 1/12
