<span>We use ratio and proportion to solve each of these:
</span><span>
</span><span>1.
The scale of a map is 1 in = 19.5 mi map: ________ in actual: 9.5 mi
</span><span>1 in / 19.5 mi = x in / 9.5 mi, x = 0.487 in
</span><span>
</span><span>2.
The scale of a map is 7 in = 16 mi map: 4.9 in actual: ______ mi
</span><span>7 in / 16 mi = 4.9 in / x mi, x = 11.2 mi
</span><span>
</span><span>3. The
scale factor for a model is 5 cm = ________ m Model : 72.5 cm actual:
165.3 m
</span><span>5 cm / x m = 72.5 cm / 165.3 m, x = 11.4 m
</span><span>
</span><span>4. The scale of a map is 1 in = 9.6 mi map: ________ in actual:
34.7 mi
</span><span>1 in / 9.6 mi = x in / 34.7 mi, x = 3.62 in
</span><span>
</span><span>5. The scale of a map is 1 ft = 9.6 mi map: ________ ft actual:
38.4 mi
</span><span>1 ft / 9.6 mi = x ft / 38.4 mi, x = 4 ft
</span><span>
</span><span>6. The scale factor for a model is 5 cm = ________ m Model :
22.4 cm actual: 155.2 m
</span><span>5 cm / x m = 22.4 cm / 155.2 m, x = 34.64 m
</span><span>
</span><span>7. The scale of a map is 5 in = 10 mi map: 8.7
in actual: ______ mi
</span><span>5 in / 10 mi = 8.7 in / x mi, x = 17.4 mi
</span><span>
</span><span>8. The scale of a map is 1 in = 13.5 mi map:
________ in actual: 65.9 mi
</span><span>1 in / 13.5 mi = x in / 65.9 mi, x = 4.88 in
</span><span>
</span><span>9. The scale factor for a model is 5 cm =
________ m Model : 61.5 cm actual: 143.2 m
</span><span>5 cm / x m = 61.5 / 143.2 m, x = 11.64 m
</span><span>
</span><span>10. The scale factor for a
model is 5 cm = ________ m Model : 29.7 cm actual: 179.5 m
</span><span>5 cm / x m = 29.7 cm / 179.5 m, x = 30.22 m

For a question like this, all you have to do is remember that a percentage is simply a fraction expressed as a decimal. So, all we have to do is:
, and then multiply our decimal answer by 100 to get the percentage:
= 0.34
0.34 x 100 = 34
Therefore 34% of the students walk to school.
I hope this helped and remember to please try and understand the maths that got the answer, not just writing the answer down :))
Let B = age on Ben
and age of Ishaan =I
B =4I
B = 6+I
Gives 6+I = 4I
6 = 3I
I =2 years and B = 4x2 = 8years
Age of Ishaan = 2 years
5 he used 5 hours or however it is out but it’s “5”
Basically you need to make the denominator (whats on the bottom) the same, lets take the first one for example
2 3/4, lets put this all over 4 for the same denominator.
2=8/4, and then add this to 3/4 to get 11/4.
the second part will work the same way,
start by making 1 into 8/8. add this to 1/8 to get 9/8
now we have to add 11/4 and 9/8. to do this, you have to find the smallest multiple between the two (for example: between 6 and 4 it would be 12, since 4*3= 12, and 2*6=12)
now, the smallest common multiple between 4 and 8 would just be 8
11/4= 22/8, since you multiply the bottom and top by the same amount so it still equals 11/4, but your denominator will now be 8.
now you can subtract. 22/8- 9/8= 13/8
final answer: 13/8
try the rest yourself since this is important for later math, hoped this helped :)
