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
Answer:
x-intercept: x = -4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
x-intercept when y = 0
-6x + 0 = 8
so
-6x = 8
x = 8/-6
x = -4/3
To solve for these, we will use formulas and convertions as we go.
For 1:
We are looking for kg (kilograms) to g (grams). 1 g = 0.001 kg.
We have 2.5 kg. This means we must multiply 2.5 by 1,000.
2.5 x 1,000 = 2,500.
1.) is 2,500 grams.
For 2:
This problem has multiple steps, but we will successfully solve it. As of now, we have yards. There are 3 feet in a yard, and 12 inches in 1 ft. We will convert yards to feet, and then feet to inches.
500x3 = 1500, 1500 x 12 = 18,000.
2.) is 18,000 inches.
For 3:
There are 2,000 pounds in 1 ton. Using this, we can determine how many tons we have.
7,000/2,000 = 3.5
3.) is 3.5 tons.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Fixed monthly fee = $20
Amount charged per minute for long distance calls = $0.20
denotes total cost such that 
minutes are used for long distance calls.
Amount charged for minutes for long distance calls 
Therefore, an equation for the total cost, C, when N minutes are used for long distance calls is
