Part A
If 2 inches is 25 miles, then you can set up a ratio to find how many inches 60 miles is.
2 inches equaling 25 miles would be 2:25 in a ratio form of inches:miles.
If miles equals 60, then the ratio would be x:60 in inches:miles.
Since both sides must have the same thing done to them, divide 60 by 25 to see how much miles was multiplied by to get to 60, then multiply inches by that to get x.
60 / 25 = 2.4
2 • 2.4 = 4.8
So the answer to part A is 4.8 inches represent 60 miles.

Part B
You can do the same concept for Part B.
1/4 = 0.25
In a ratio of inches:miles, this would be 0.25:x
Since the original ratio is 2:25, you must figure out how many times 1/4 goes into 2.
2 = 2/1 = 4/2 = 8/4
So 1/4 goes into 2, which can be represented by 8/4, 8 times.
This means 2 was divided by 8 to get 0.25.
Now divide 25 by 8 to get x.
25 / 8 = 3.125
So the answer to part B is 3.125 miles are represented by 1/4 inch.

Two boys decided to buy a computer. The second boy had 5/6 of the money the first had. The first boy had 7/8 of the price of the
UNO [17]

Answer:

The price of the computer is $1,152

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of the computer be $x

The first boy boy had 7/8 of this amount, the amount he has is thus 7/8 × $x = 7x/8

The second boy had 5/6 of what the first boy had. The amount of money he has is thus 5/6 × 7x/8 = 35x/48

Now, the addition of what they have is $696 more than what they need to pay. This amount is x+ 696

Mathematically, this can be represented as;

7x/8 + 35x/48 = x + 696

(42x + 35x)/48 = (x + 696)

77x/48 = (x + 696)

77x = 48(x + 696)

77x = 48x + 33408

77x - 48x = 33408

29x = 33, 408

x = 33,408/29

x = $1,152

oksano4ka [1.4K]

So if you're asked to graph a function and its inverse, all you have to do is graph the function and then switch all x and y values in each point to graph the inverse. Just look at all those values switching places from the f(x) function to its inverse g(x) (and back again), reflected over the line y = x.
