Unfortunately you have not included the directions. Are you supposed to solve for x? or for y?
Suppose the directions say, "Solve for x." Then, clear out the decimal fraction by mult. both sides of the given equation by 10. This will give you the solution, that is, a formula for x in terms of y.
The answer is 9.48. also I rounded
Hey there!
Since 2 goes into 8, you would simplify. You would get 1 inch and 4 miles. Next, set up a ratio. The ratio is 1 inch: 4 miles. So for every inch on the map, there is 4 miles.
I hope this helps!
You could directly add 6+4 which gives you the answer as well... M=10
