We are given the ratio of 1/2 inch: 18 miles
Multiply both sides of the ratio by 2. I'm doing this so that the "1/2" turns into "1"
So we go from this ratio
1/2 inch: 18 miles
to this ratio
1 inch: 36 miles
which means that every inch on paper represents 36 miles in real life
----------------------------------------------------------------
The question is now: if two towns are 2.5 inches apart on paper, then how far are they in real life? (note: 2.5 is the decimal form of 2 and a half)
To find out, multiply both sides by 2.5
1 inch: 36 miles
2.5*(1 inch): 2.5*(36 miles)
2.5 inches: 90 miles
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The two towns are 90 miles apart in real life
Given: c | | d, m 4 = m 5
Prove: m 7 = m 8
1. c||d, m∠4=m∠5
GIVEN
2. m∠4 = m∠7
If lines ||, alternate interior angles are equal.
3. m∠5 = m∠8
Vertical angles are equal.
4. m∠7 = m∠8
Substitution
Given:
Monthly fees for the local pool are $8 per month and $2 per visit.
Hector pays $34 in pool fees total for the month.
To find:
The number of times he visit the pool.
Solution:
We have,
Monthly fee of pool = $8
Additional fee = $2 per visit
Let Hector visit x times.
Additional fee for x times = $2x
Total fee = Monthly fee + Additional fee
Divide both sides by 2.
Therefore, Hector visit the pool 13 times.
