Please answer question 1

On a map the key indicates that 1/4 inch = 1/2 mile. if two cities on themap are 4 1/2 inches apart what is the distance between

Ilya [14]

Let the actual distance be x mile.
1/4 inch = 1/2 mile
9/2 inch = x mile
(9/2)/(1/4)=x/(1/2)
18=2x
x=9

the actual distance is 9 mile.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

<h3>Exercise 1.</h3>

a. Convert to decimals.

To order the numbers from least to greaters, convert them to decimals and compare.

$5.2(percent)=0.052\\ \\\frac{1}{7} =0.1429\\\\ -0.8=-0.8000\\ \\\frac{-11}{5} =-2.2$

b. Select the second least number.

-0.8.

<h3>Exercise 2.</h3>

a. Convert to decimals.

$-3.4(percent)=-0.034\\ \\-0.031\\\\ -0.2\\ \\-\sqrt{0.8}= -0.8944$

b. Select the correct number.

$-\frac{1}{5}$ .

<h3>Exercise 3.</h3>

a. Convert to decimals.

<em>After seeing that there are negative and positive numbers, and with the premise that negative numbers are </em><u><em>always</em></u><em> lesser than positive numbers, we'll only compare the positive numbers.</em>

<em />

b. Select the correct number.

3/5.

<h3>Exercise 4.</h3>

a. Convert to decimals.

-0.35

-3.5%= -0.035

b. Conclude.

Seeing that -3.5% is less than -0.35, the symbol that makes the statement true is ">".

<h3>Exercise 5.</h3>

a. Try to visually estimate b.

B appears to have a value of -0.9.

b. Convert the numbers to decimals.

-3.4%= -0.034

-0.031

-1/5= -0.2

$-\sqrt{0.8}= -0.8944$

c. Select the correct answer.

<em>Since we estimated the value of b as -0.9, the number that best adequates to its value is </em> $-\sqrt{0.8}$ .

<h3>Exercise 6.</h3>

a. Convert to decimals.

<em>After seeing that there are negative and positive numbers, and with the premise that negative numbers are </em><u><em>always</em></u><em> lesser than positive numbers, we'll only compare the positive numbers.</em>

5.2%= 0.052

1/7= 0.1429

b. Select the correct number.

5.2% is the second largest.

<h3>Exercise 7.</h3>

a. Convert to decimals.

6/7= 0.857143

0.857

b. Select the correct answer.

Seeing that 0.857 is marked as an approximate by the

ellipsis, and considering that 6/7 is an irrational numbers, we can conclude that the number that better fits the situation and makes the statement true is "=".

<h3>Exercise 8.</h3>

a. Convert to decimals.

<em>After seeing that there are negative and positive numbers, and with the premise that negative numbers are </em><u><em>always</em></u><em> lesser than positive numbers, we'll only compare the negative numbers.</em>

<em /> $-\sqrt{21} =-4.5826$
