Answer:

1 cm=8 km

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a ratio to determine the scale. Take the distance on the map on the left and the "real distance" on the right

6 cm=48 km

Divide by 6

6 cm/ 6 = 48 km /6

1 cm=8 km

Answer:

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

x : (x+10) = 5:7

Fractional form

x / x+10 = 5/7

Cross multiply:

x * 7 = (x+10) * 5

7x = 5x + 50

7x - 5x = 5x + 50 - 5x

2x = 50

x = 25

Check:

25 : 25 + 10

25 : 35

25/35 = 5/7
