Answer:

A proportion can be used to find the distance on the map that represents 50 miles, you can calculate this using the following steps:

200 miles ... 5 inches

50 miles ... x inch = ?

200 * x = 5 * 50

x = 5 * 50 / 200

x = 1.25 inch

The correct result would be x = 5 * 50 / 200.

Can someone help me with this?

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

1/18

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, it works well to consolidate the minus signs:

$=-\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{5}{9}$

We can multiply the first fraction by 9/9 and the second one by 2/2 so they have a common denominator.

$=-\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot\dfrac{9}{9}+\dfrac{5}{9}\cdot\dfrac{2}{2}=\dfrac{(-1)(9)+(5)(2)}{(2)(9)}\\\\=\boxed{\dfrac{1}{18}}$
