If the markers are 4.5 inches away on the map, and 2.5 inches represents 10 miles, then we need to make ratios we can work with.
Inches / Miles:
4.5 / x
2.5 / 10
Now, we can cross multiply to end up with:
2.5 * x = 4.5 * 10
Simplify:
2.5x = 45
Divide 2.5 on each side:
2.5x / 2.5 = 45 / 2.5
Simplify:
x = 45 / 2.5
x = 18
Awesome! Now we have a real ratio on the real distance of the markers.
<span>2.5 : 10 & 4.5 : </span><span>18.

18 miles is the actual distance between the two markers.
Hope I could help! If my math is wrong, or it isn't the answer you are looking for, please let me know!

Answer:
x= -3 or 4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
3x²+5x-12 =0
3x²+9x-4x-12=0
3x(x+3) -4(x+3) =0
(3x-4)(x+3)=0
x=-3 or 4/3
Answer:
9^6
Step-by-step explanation:
When dividing exponents with the same base, we subtract the exponents
a^b/ a^c = a^(b-c)
9^11/9^5 = 9^(11-5)
= 9^6

Answer:
1/2 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Skylar's speed was ...
(65 ft)/(5 s) = 13 ft/s
Rodrigo's speed was ...
(108 ft)/(8 s) = 13.5 ft/s
Rodrigo traveled farther by (13.5 -13) = 0.5 ft per second.
