We know that the ratio is;

The angles in a triangle add up to give 180°
We can think of there being twelve "parts" that add up to 180°

So our ratio is;

So the smallest angle is 30°
I like using decimals instead of fractions.
1/8: 0.125
So the scale is:
0.125 in: 1.5 mi
What you do to one side you have to do to the other side. We have the map distance, which is 2.5. Let's see what it was multiplied by to find the map distance of their houses.
2.5÷ 0.125= 20
Let's multiply the other side by 20.
20×1.5
30
So, Juanita and Lindsey live 30 minutes away.
s is the MPH.
t is the amount of time.
Lisa traveled 120 miles at a speed of s miles, and we want to find t, the time. We need to divide the distance of 120 by the speed of s.
The answer is 120/s = t.
