The unit rate is $/Hr. Since the hours are the unit being considered.

To find the unit rate, divide both sides by three

(Let x = hourly rate)

3x = 15

x = 5

Find a of this angle.

Mice21 [21]

In a triangle, the total angle is 180 degrees. A straight line is always 180 degrees. With this in mind, the following can be obtained:

$a + 2x + {57}^{o} = {180}^{o} \\ 5x + a = {180}^{o}$

These are simultaneous equations.

$a + 2x + {57}^{o} = 5x + a \\ 3x = {57}^{o} \\ x = {19}^{o} \\ 5x + a = {180}^{o} \\ 5( {19}^{o} ) + a = {180}^{o} \\ a = {85}^{o}$

The scale of a map is 1cm:12 km. find the actual distance for 12cm

anzhelika [568]

This is simply a question about ratios. This ratio means that for every 1 cm on the map, there are 12 km in actuality. You can set this problem up in fractions:

1 cm 12 cm
-------- = ----------
12 km x

To solve for x, we cross-multiply, for the moment ignoring units. Remember, your answer will be in km.

1*x=12*12

x=144

If x=144, then for 12 cm, there are 144 km.
