Answer:

7.5 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance on map.

We have been given that a scale on a map shows that 3 centimeters represents 10 kilometers. We are asked to find the distance on map that corresponds to 25 kilometers in actual.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem.

\frac{\text{Map distance}}{\text{Actual distance}}=\frac{3\text{ cm}}{\text{10 km}}

Upon substituting our given values in above proportion, we will get:

\frac{x}{25\text{ km}}=\frac{3\text{ cm}}{\text{10 km}}

\frac{x}{25\text{ km}}\cdot 25\text{ km}=\frac{3\text{ cm}}{\text{10 km}}\cdot 25\text{ km}

x=\frac{3\text{ cm}}{2}\cdot 5

x=\frac{15}{2}\text{ cm}

x=7.5\text{ cm}

Therefore, 7.5 centimeters on the map represents an actual distance of 25 kilometers.

I just need help understanding linear equations and linear graphs with the equation: y=1/3x+3 Please explain the process
ANTONII [103]
1/3x let’s us the slope of the line is going up one and over three between each point. The +3 lets us know that the line will be located three points above the origin aka the middle/0,0 of the graph. Continuing this pattern will give you a positive linear line. The equation doesn’t make it so the line curves
