Answer:

360 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Every half inch on the map equal 45 miles on the highway.  Find out how many half-inches there are in 4 inches, and multiply that by 45 to get the answer.  

To do this, first divide 4 by 0.5

  4/0.5 = 4/(1/2)  = 4(2/1)  =  8    

There 8 half-inches in 4 inches

**Also think that there are 2 halves in 1, so in 4 there are 2(4) halves, which is 8

Now take 8 and multiply by 45

8(45) = 360

The highway is 360 miles long

Charles bought 24 blow-pops for $7.20. His little sister Tracy wants 11 blow-pops. How much will 11 blow-pops cost?
Norma-Jean [14]

$3.30 because taking the cost of 24, which is $7.20, and dividing is by the amount, 24, you get that one Blow-Pop costs $0.30. Then to find how many 11 costs you just need to multiply $0.30 by 11, and you get $3.30.

Read paragraphs 4-5 from the passage.
rodikova [14]

Answer:  C

Step-by-step explanation:

I recognize this as coming from an old 1912 novel published as "A Princess of Mars", by Edgar Rice Burroughs. I read the book as a teenage boy. A 2012 movie, called "John Carter", was based on this same book.

Answer A  - No, because the character (Carter) says, "My muscles, perfectly attuned and accustomed to the force of gravity on Earth". Perfectly attuned is an athlete, not a clumsy person.

Answer B - No, because the character just doesn't sound all that frustrated. The experience is strange and inconvenient, yet he is handling his emotions pretty well for how weird it must be. It is more like he is writing about an amazing experience, not just complaining.

Answer D - No, because he never says that the experience was making him happy. He does not say that he was laughing or smiling or that it reminded him of some pleasant time he had as a boy.

Answer C - Yes. - Creation of vivid imagery. In a novel, the author must paint pictures with their words. Part of how the author does this is by giving you the picture of a man who feels very comfortable with his coordination on Earth, but keeps winding up about 9 feet off the ground without trying. He doesn't just "I kept falling". He tells you in vivid detail - "... landed me sprawling on my face or back ..."

Hope this helps!

If the price of an object dropped 75% down to $85.99 what was the original price?
Serggg [28]
If the price of an object drastically dropped 75%, then the dropped price is equal to 25% of the original price. That means that to find the original price, we have to multiply by the reciprocal of 25% (4). The original price would be $85.99 * 4 which is $343.96.
