Answer:

The distance on the map between the two towns=14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Express the scale as;

1:200,000 this means that 1 cm on the map represents 200,000 cm on the road, 1 cm:200,000 cm

Step 2

Convert 28 kilometers to m

1 meter=1,000 kilometers

28 kilometers=28×1,000=28,000 meters

Convert 28,000 meters to centimeters

1 meter=100 centimeters

28,000 meters=28,000×100=2,800,000 centimeters

Step 3

Using the scale factor of 1:200,000 convert 2,800,000 cm on the road can be converted to map measurements as follows;

Distance on the map=scale factor×distance on the road

where;

scale factor=1/200,000

distance on the road=2,800,000 cm

replacing;

Distance on the map=(1/200,000)×2,800,000

Distance on the map=14 cm

The distance on the map between the two towns=14 cm

Mr. miller has $25 in his savings and wants to put $10 every week into the account. write an equation showing how much money he
iris [78.8K]
The equation you write would be linear, and would be written in slope intercept form y=mx+b. Since Mr. Miller already has $25, we plug that in for "b" in the equation. We plug 10 in for "m", because "x" represents the number of weeks he has been saving. The equation would be y=10x+25. To find how much money Mr. Miller will have in 7 weeks, plug in 7 for x. y=10(7)+25 -> y=70+25 -> y=95 -> $95
