If you look at a state map with a representative fraction scale of 1:500,000; the straight-line distance between two cities is e

qual to 12.7 inches on the map. Assuming that the representative fraction scale is also in inches, what is the ground distance between these two cities in miles?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor is given as 1:500,000

i.e. original 500,000 is represented as 1 inch in the map

Hence if 12.7 inches on the map, this is a question of direct variation

So actual distance = 12.7(500000) = 6350000

3/9 + 3/27 = ? Adding fractions
RideAnS [48]
\frac{3}{9} + \frac{3}{27} equals \frac{4}{9}.

First, simplify \frac{3}{9} to \frac{1}{3} and also \frac{3}{27} to \frac{1}{9}. Your problem should look like: \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{9}.
Second, find the least common denominator of \frac{1}{3} and \frac{1}{9} to get 9.
Third, make the denominators the same as the least common denominator (LCD). Your problem should look like: \frac{1x3}{3x3} + \frac{1}{9}.
Fourth, simplify to get the denominators the same. Your problem should look like: \frac{3}{9} + \frac{1}{9}.
Fifth, join the denominators. Your problem should look like: \frac{3+1}{9}.
Sixth, simplify. Your problem should look like: \frac{4}{9}, which is the answer.

The town of Madison has a population of 25000 The population is increasing by a factor of 1.12 each year.
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

P(t) = 25,000*1.12^t

Step-by-step explanation:

The populational growth is exponential with a factor of 1.12 each year. An exponential function has the following general equation:

y(x) = ab^x

Where 'a' is the initial population (25,000 people), 'b' is the growth factor (1.12 per year), 'x' is the time elapsed, in years, and 'y(x)' is the population after 'x' years.

Therefore, the function P(t) that models the population in Madison t years from now is:

P(t) = 25,000*1.12^t
