A:
2 inches - 25 miles
x inches - 60 miles

Set up a proportion:
\frac{2}{25} = \frac{x}{60} \\ \\
\frac{2}{25} \times 60=x  \\ \\
\frac{120}{25}=x \\ \\
x=4.8

4.8 inches on the map represent 60 miles.

B:
2 inches - 25 miles
1/4 inches - x miles

Set up a proportion:
\frac{2}{25}=\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{x} \\ \\
\frac{2}{25}x=\frac{1}{4} \\ \\
x=\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{25}{2} \\ \\
x=\frac{25}{8} \\ \\
x=3.125

3.125 miles are represented by 1/4 inches on the map.

The sum of 16 and a number x is equal to 19
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the equation as 16 + x = 19

To solve we can work backwards, I know the opposite of adding is subracting... so 19 - 16 = 3 which means x is equal to 3.

Hope that helps and have a great day!
