This is simply a question about ratios. This ratio means that for every 1 cm on the map, there are 12 km in actuality. You can set this problem up in fractions:

1 cm           12 cm
--------   =   ----------
12 km             x

To solve for x, we cross-multiply, for the moment ignoring units. Remember, your answer will be in km.

1*x=12*12

x=144

If x=144, then for 12 cm, there are 144 km.

)A spinner is divided into sections of equal size, of which some are red, some are blue, and the remaining are green. The probab
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of the arrow landing on the green section is a 40% chance

This is because there are only 3 sections where one is 50 and the other is 10

To find the green we can create an equation, where x = green section

50 + 10 + x = 100

The equation equals 100 because that's the highest the percentage will go in probability, unless we were told otherwise

60 + x = 100

x = 100 - 60

x = 40

A person who weighs 100 pounds on Earth weighs 16.6 lb. on the moon.
mario62 [17]

Answer:

See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 100 lbs on Earth is 16.6 lbs on the moon.

a. The independent variable is weight. The gravity of the Moon and the gravity of the Earth are constant. Weight can change, but gravity is a constant.

b. An equation that relates the weight of someone on the Moon who travels to the Earth:

100 / 16.6 = 6.02. Take the Moon weight and multiply by 6.02:

Moon Weight * 6.02 = Earth Weight.

Proof:

16.6 * 6.024 = 99.99 - approximately 100 lbs Earth weight.

c. A 185 lb astronaut on Earth would weigh:

16.6 / 100 = .166. Take the Earth weight and multiply by .166:

185 * .166 = 30 lbs on the Moon.

d. A person who weighs 50 lbs on the Moon:

50 * 6.024 = 301.2 lbs on Earth.

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day! :-)
