Answer:

150 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If 1/2 of an inch is 20 miles, we can assume that 1/4 of an inch is 10 miles, since half of 1/2 is 1/4 and 1/2 of 20 is 10.

Equipped with this information, we can divide 3 by 1/2 or multiply 3 by the reciprical, 2/1 to get how much we should multiply 20 by.

3*2=6

20*6=120

Then we can multiply 10 by 3 and add that on our answer, since there are still 3/4s left and 1/4=10 miles.

10*3=30

120+30=150

The actual distance is 150 miles.

Hope this helps!

Let the cost of the hair dryer equal x.

The net cost plus a 40% markup equals 42, set up an equation and solve forex.

1.4x = 42

Divide both sides by 1.4

X = 42 / 1.4

X = 30

The net cost was £30

Write the equation that describes the line in slope-intercept form: slope= 4, point (3,-2) is on the line
docker41 [41]
Slope intercept form is y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y intercept

slope is 4
y=4x+b
subsitute if iin (x,y) form
so x=3 and y=-2 is one solution
subsitute
-2=4 times 3+b
-2=12+b
subtract 12 from both sids
-14=b

the equation is y=4x-14
