Question

The distance on a map between a student’s house and her job is 6 cm. On the same map, the distance between her house and her school 8 cm. The actual distance from her house to school is 12 km. If d represents the approximate distance in km between her house and her job, what is d?

Answer 1

Distance from house to work (D) is 6km (A). House and school is 6cm on map 6cm=9km  

so 4cm = (d)km  

6....4  

---X--- = (6 x d) 6d = (9 x 4) 36 so now  

9....d  

divide to get (d) 6d/6=36/6 so D=6  

above are fractions sorry for the decimal points it wouldn't place the spaces without them.
