A map of a highway has a scale of 2 inches =45 miles. The length of the highway on the map is 6 inches. There are 11 rest stops

equally spaced on the highway, including one at each end. You are making a new map with a scale of 1 inch = 30 miles. How far apart are the rest stops on the new map?

Answer:

each rest stop is 0.45  inches apart on the new map.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to figure out how long is the highway. since 6/2 = 3, we know that the length of the highway is equal to 45*3. 45*3 = 135.

Now since the beginning stop doesn't count(it's at the 0 miles point and normal dividing would not count 0), so we know that there is 10 stops.

Since on the new map there was 30 miles in a inch, 135 miles on the new map would equal to 4.5 inches(135 = 120+15 = 4*30+0.5*30). 4.5/10 = 0.45 inches. So basically the rest stops are 0.45 inches apart.

Answer:

v_1=3.33 \ miles/hour\\v_2=6.66 \ miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Constant Speed Motion </u>

When the object travels the same distances in the same period of time, the speed is constant and is can be calculated as

\displaystyle v=\frac{x}{t}

where x is the distance and t is the time

There are two canoes traveling at speeds v1 and v2. One of them has twice the speed as the other. Let's say

v_2=2v_1

When t hours have passed, the canoes have traveled x1 and x2 respectively.

x_1=v_1t

x_2=v_2t

Since

v_2=2v_1

Then

x_2=2v_1t

The distance between them is

X=x_2-x_1=2v_1t-v_1t

X=v_1t

That distance is known and equals 11.25 miles, thus

v_1t=15

Solving for v1 and using t=4.5 hours

\displaystyle v_1=\frac{15}{4.5}

v_1=3.33 \ miles/hour

v_2=2\times 3.33

\boxed{v_2=6.66 \ miles/hour}
