Well if it is 1 inch per 100 feet, then we already know that 600 feet is 6 inches on the map. Now the 4 is where it gets trickier. Since it's dividing it by 100 each time, you take 4 and divide it by 100 which is 0.04. Therefore, your answer is 6.04 inches on the map.
What are you trying to do like simplify or what i can possibly help if i know
Not enough info, its part c of a question that has more to go off of
Given:
'a' and 'b' are the intercepts made by a straight-line with the co-
ordinate axes.
3a = b and the line pass through the point (1, 3).
To find:
The equation of the line.
Solution:
The intercept form of a line is
...(i)
where, a is x-intercept and b is y-intercept.
We have, 3a=b.
...(ii)
The line pass through the point (1, 3). So, putting x=1 and y=3, we get



Multiply both sides by a.

The value of a is 2. So, x-intercept is 2.
Putting a=2 in
, we get


The value of b is 6. So, y-intercept is 6.
Putting a=2 and b=6 in (i), we get

Therefore, the equation of the required line in intercept form is
.
Answer:
All you have to do is divide the miles by the gallons... 252 miles ÷ 12 gallons = 21 miles/gallons
Your final answer is 21 miles/gallon!!
