Answer:

30 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Scale = 2 inches represents 5 miles

This means that 2 inches in the map equals to 5 miles on ground ;

Hence, if the trail measures 12 inches on the map, the length on ground will be ; x

2 inches = 5 miles

12 inches = x miles

Cross multiply :

2x = (12 * 5)

2x = 60

x = 60 / 2

x = 30 miles

McKenna pays $16 per month for a gym membership. In addition, she pays $2 per Pilates class.
True [87]

$16 per month can be changed to 16m where m represents months.

The $2 per Pilates class can be 2p where p represents Pilates classes.

An equation of y = 16m + 2p can be set up, where y represents how much McKenna is charged total for gym membership ($52)

52 = 16m + 2p

We know that McKenna attended 12 Pilates classes, and we also know that McKenna attended 1 month, so we plug this in:

52 = 16(1) + 2(12) (simplify)

52 = 16 + 24 (add 24)

52 = 40

Since this is not equal, $52 is not the correct amount to be charged.

You divided in the wrong order. The resulting image always goes first then the preimage is afterward.

scale factor = (new)/(old) = 10/8 = 1.25

<h3>Answer is choice B</h3>

The scale factor is larger than 1, so this means we have an enlargement going on.
