<u>Answer: </u>

The miles apart for Shanghai and Mount Everest is 2100 miles

<u>Explanation: </u>

Given :

Distance in map between Shanghai and Mt. Everest = 4 \frac{1}{5} \text { inches }

1 inch = 500 miles  

Converting mixed fraction 4 \frac{1}{5} \text { inches } into improper fraction = \frac{21}{5} \text { inches }

To calculate the distance (in miles)

\frac{21}{5} \text { inches } \times 1 \mathrm{Inch}

=\frac{21}{5} \times 500 \text { miles }

= 2100 miles

Therefore the distance for Shanghai and Mount Everest in miles is 2100 miles

Answer:

2,100 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

On a map, the distance between Shanghai and Mount Everest measures 4 1/5 inches

<em>Convert mixed number to an improper fraction</em>

4\frac{1}{5}\ in=\frac{4*5+1}{5}=\frac{21}{5}\ in

The scale of the map is  1 inch equals 500 miles

so

using proportion

Find out how many miles apart are Shanghai and Mount Everest

Let

x ----> the distance in miles

\frac{1}{500}\frac{in}{mi}=\frac{(21/5)}{x}\frac{in}{mi}\\\\x=500(21/5)\\\\x=2,100\ mi

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

x = 180° - (48 + 85)° = 180° - 133° = 47°
