Answer:
75 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the scale on the map, which is that 1 inch is 25 miles in real life. We can write that as a ratio of 1 inch: 25 miles. Now say we have two inches, then we have 50 miles because we add on another 25 miles, then we do that again and we get to 75 miles.
Another way to think about it (more complicated):
you can represent ratios as a fraction
so we do 1/25=3/x
To find x, we can do (25*3)/1 which equals 75, if you don't know what I did there then you don't know, sorry!
you can also do it in a different way
same scenario though
you represent it as a fraction
and do 1/25=3/x. We see that the ratio from 1 to 3 is multiplied by 3 so that means the ratio from 25 to x is also going to be multiplied by 3, and 25 multiplied by 3 is 75.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Answer:
70
Step-by-step explanation:
First, set up the ratio of c:t, which is 12:8. Then set up your new ratio of c:t, which is 105:?. The way I find the easiest is to divide 105 by 12, which is 8.75, then multiply that by 8, which is 70. To check if it's right, just divide 12 by 8, and 105 by 70, and if they're the same number, you've got it right.
Ps. I'm guessing you meant to ask the minimum number of trucks, not cars.
1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 6/3
You just multiply them together
