We are given the ratio of 1/2 inch: 18 miles

Multiply both sides of the ratio by 2. I'm doing this so that the "1/2" turns into "1"
So we go from this ratio
1/2 inch: 18 miles
to this ratio 
1 inch: 36 miles
which means that every inch on paper represents 36 miles in real life

----------------------------------------------------------------

The question is now: if two towns are 2.5 inches apart on paper, then how far are they in real life? (note: 2.5 is the decimal form of 2 and a half)

To find out, multiply both sides by 2.5
1 inch: 36 miles
2.5*(1 inch): 2.5*(36 miles)
2.5 inches: 90 miles

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer: The two towns are 90 miles apart in real life

It’s simple -

find the constant that is in both terms in the equations

for example:

-4m - 4y

both terms have -4 so you would factor it out to get -4(m + y)


another example

cw^3 - cx^2

both have the term c so it would be

c(w^3 - x^2)

and so on

Answer:

104x + 52

None of the expressions listed are equivalent to 52(2x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

52(2x + 1)

Apply the distributive law:  a(b + c) = ab + ac

⇒ 104x + 52

Therefore, 52(2x + 1) = 104x + 52

Which expression is equivalent to 8?<br><br><br> -48 ÷ 6<br> 48 ÷ (-6)<br> 48 ÷ 6<br> -48 ÷ (-6)
V125BC [204]
Expression 3, 
because 6 and 8 are factors of 48. Since positive 6 & 8 are the two numbers of choice, the product will be positive. My answer is reasonable because if you were to multiply positive 8 and 6 you will get positive 48.
