The answer is approximately 0.11857
To solve this problem we can make a proportion.
6 5
-- = ---
10 x
to solve this proportion we can cross multiply and divide.
5 times 10 is 50. divided by 6 is 8.3
it will take her 8.3 minutes to run 5 laps
Answer:
12 cm = 21.62 miles
6 cm = 11.04 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the distance, set up a proportion. A proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. We form the ratios by using corresponding values. We write a ratio of 
and simplify.
We know 
. We know the distance on the map is 12 cm and 6 cm whish converts to 4.7 inches and 2.4 inches. We can write 
and 
We set them equal.
and
To solve each proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
and
Use the elimination process
Now if we have 7.5 pounds of apples first we need to convert 1 pound into ounces.
1 pound = 16 ounces.
Now we know how many ounces are in one pound. So lets take the 16 ounces for 1 pound and multiply by the 7 full pounds of apples. This excluding the 1/2 pound of apples.
7 x 16 = 112
(7 being the weight in pounds of the apples, 16 being 16 ounces in one pound, and 112 is how any ounces are in 7 pounds of apples.)
So now we have the amount of ounces in 7 pounds of apples.
But we are not done. We still have the 1/2 pound of apples. So we take 16 being 1 pound of apples and divide it by 2.
16 divided by 2 = 8
That 1/2 pound of apples = 8 ounces.
So now we have our 7 pounds of apples in ounces (112) and our 1/2 pound of apples in ounces (8)
So we add these back up in ounces
112 + 8 = 120.
So now we can conclude:
7.5 pounds of apples is 120 ounces
