We are given the ratio of 1/2 inch: 18 miles
Multiply both sides of the ratio by 2. I'm doing this so that the "1/2" turns into "1"
So we go from this ratio
1/2 inch: 18 miles
to this ratio
1 inch: 36 miles
which means that every inch on paper represents 36 miles in real life
----------------------------------------------------------------
The question is now: if two towns are 2.5 inches apart on paper, then how far are they in real life? (note: 2.5 is the decimal form of 2 and a half)
To find out, multiply both sides by 2.5
1 inch: 36 miles
2.5*(1 inch): 2.5*(36 miles)
2.5 inches: 90 miles
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The two towns are 90 miles apart in real life
Go up 4 Over 3
You go up 4 to go to your slope
And over 3 to get the starting point of that slope
Convert everything to pints and add them up.
1 quart is 2 pints
4 pints of OJ+1 pint of CJ+(2+4) pints of GA= 11 pints of fruit punch
So if there are 5 choices and only one is correct, there is a 1/5 chance of being correct. since there was 2 questions, you need to multiply 1/5 by 1/5 to get 2/25 of getting both questions correct.
i hope this helps!!
