<span>In this problem, to find the answer we have to setup a series of ratios that relate the scale to real life distance. We know that 1cm = 2.50km, so that ratio would be 1cm/2.5km. For two towns that are 4.75cm apart on the map, we set a ration of 4.75cm/x km, where x is the actual distance. Now we set the ratios equal to each other and solve for x. 1/2.5=4.75/x where x = 4.75*2.5/1 = 11.875 and rounding up we get 11.88 km. The two towns are actually 11.88 km apart from each other.</span>
Hello there!
The sum of two numbers (x + y) is 8 (=8).
Their product (x * y) is 15 (=15).
x + y = 8
x * y = 15
First, we know that the two number must be positive and under 8, as the product is positive.
Let's list out some numbers that are from 1 to 8 that sum up to 8;
1 + 7
2 + 6
3 + 5
4 + 4
Now, we need to multiply the two numbers that add up to 8, and see which makes a product of 15.
1 * 7 = 7, this does not work.
2 * 6 = 12, this does not work.
3 * 5 = 15, this works!
4 * 4 = 16, this does not work.
Since we are looking for the larger number in our pairs, let's pick the largest one out of the correct pair, which is 5.
The largest number is 5.
I hope this helps!
The answer is x=2 i hope this helps !!
The number of rotations for the new wheel will be 1,056 rotations
<h3>How to calculate the circumference of a wheel?</h3>
Let the initial circumference be 50 rotations (assumed)
If the number of rotations of the circumference of the tires were increased by 20%, then the new circumference will be:
Ne circumference = 1.2 * 50 = 60
number of rotations for the new wheel = 63360/60
number of rotations for the new wheel = 1,056 rotations
Hence the number of rotations for the new wheel will be 1,056 rotations

Answer:
3 1/3 gum balls per friend
Step-by-step explanation:
Packs of gum balls Pete has = 4
Each pack = 5 gum balls
Total gum balls Pete has = Number of packs of gum balls × Number of gum balls in each pack
= 4 × 5
= 20 gum balls
Pete gives the same number of gum balls to 6 friends.
Each friend gets = Total gum balls / number of friends
= 20 gum balls / 6 friends
= 3 2/6 gum balls per friend
= 3 1/3 gum balls per friend
