Answer:

1857 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the scale on a map is 1 cm:30 mi. The distance on the map between San Francisco, CA, and Chicago, IL, is 61.9 cm. We are asked to find the actual distance between San Francisco and Chicago.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem.

\frac{\text{Actual distance}}{\text{Map distance}}=\frac{30\text{ miles}}{1\text{ cm}}

Upon substituting map distance between San Francisco and Chicago, we will get:

\frac{\text{Actual distance}}{61.9\text{ cm}}=\frac{30\text{ miles}}{1\text{ cm}}

\frac{\text{Actual distance}}{61.9\text{ cm}}\cdot 61.9\text{ cm}=\frac{30\text{ miles}}{1\text{ cm}}\cdot 61.9\text{ cm}

\text{Actual distance}=30\text{ miles}\cdot 61.9

\text{Actual distance}=1857\text{ miles}

Therefore, the actual distance between San Francisco and Chicago is 1857 miles.

What is the inverse of the function shown( in the form of a graph)
NemiM [27]

Answer:

y =  - 1x + b

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse of a slope is the exact opposite slope of the original. I'll show a function below where you can easily solve future problems if you need to.

-  \frac{1}{m} x

m is the slope, so for the equation above, you simply insert the original slope, being 1, in the equation.

-  \frac{1}{1} x \\  - 1x

So the inverse slope would be -1.

Well, it's the average amount of time, so add 26.1 + 24.3 + 32.8 + 18.2. That equals 101.4 seconds or 1 minute and 41.4 seconds.
