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.

PLEASE HELP it should be easy for someone but I can’t do it

Answer:

Total crackers on the plate are 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Manuel ate crackers = \frac{1}{3}

His brother ate crackers = \frac{1}{4}

Crackers left on the plate = 5

We need to find how many crackers were there on the plate.

Let x be the total crackers on the plate

So, we can write the equation

x-\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{1}{4}x=5

Because 1/3 and 1/4 crackers are eaten and 5 are left so, we subtract 1/3x and 1/4x from x and equal it to 5

\frac{12x-4x-3x}{12}=5\\\frac{12x-7x}{12}=5\\\frac{5x}{12}=5\\x=\frac{5*12}{5}\\x=12

So, we get x = 12

Therefore, total crackers on the plate are 12

Slove system of equations y=2x-3 y=x^2-2x-8
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

2 solutions:

x=5 and y=7

x=-1 and y=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

y=2x-3

y=x^2-2x-8

y=y   so:

2x-3=x^2-2x-8

simplifying to:

x^2-4x-5=0

factoring to:

(x-5)(x+1)=0

x=5 or x=-1

if x=5 then y=2(5)-3=7

if x=-1 then y=2(-1)-3=-5
