6 * 10^5 = 600,000
600,000/15 = 40,000
The pop of the small town is approximately 40,000 people
Answer: 5.5km
Step-by-step explanation:
The scale given 1 : 25 000 , and it was said that on the map , the distance between two railway stations is 22 cm , this means that the scale of the map is 1: 25000 cm.
The scale 1 : 25 000 means that each centimeters on the map represent 25 ,000 in real life ,therefore , to calculate the real distance between the two railway station , we have
25,000 X 22
= 550000 cm
To convert this to km
Recall that
1 km = 100,000 cm
Therefore we will divide the answer by 100,000 , that is
550000/100000
= 5.5 km
Therefore , the real distance between the two railway stations is 5.5km
1/5 and 3/5
Hope this helps!
1. Since it's m - 7 you would have 7 to both sides so you would in fact have m < 13. If you double check your answer, you see that if m is say 12 (because 12 is obviously less than 13), 12 - 7 < 6
2. Again, use the same process on this problem as the first one. Add 8 to each sides because it's you're subtracting 8 from n. So you end up with n > 13. Check your answer. Say n is 14. 14 - 8 > 5
3. This one is different because you are adding 5 to p. So in order to get p by itself, you need to subtract 5 from both sides. p < 5. Say p is 4, 4 + 5 < 10.
When working with problems like these, you need to isolate the variable on one side and get it by itself.
