Using proportions, it is found that the two cities are 27.5 miles apart.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.
From the given scale, we have that <u>each inch of distance represents 10 miles</u>. Hence the distance in miles for a distance of 2 and 3/4 miles = 2.75 miles is given by:
D = 10 x 2.75 = 27.5 miles.
Hence, the two cities are 27.5 miles apart.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: A
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
f(x) = x³ + 4x² + 7x + 6
possible rational roots are ±{1, 2, 3, 6}
Try x = -2
-2 | 1 4 7 6
<u>| ↓ -2 -4 -6</u>
1 2 3 0 ← remainder is 0 so x = -2 is a root ⇒ (x + 2) = 0
The factored polynomial x² + 2x + 3 = 0 is not factorable so use the quadratic formula to find the roots.
a=1, b=2, c=3
The factors are:
Speed = Distance/Time. Let speed be V, distance D and time T
a)Given: D₁ =45km, V₁=x km/h
V₁=D₁/T
V₁=45/T OR T= 45/V₁
b) Given : D₂ =48 km and V₂ = V₁ + 4 km/h
V₂ = 48/T, but V₂ = V₁+4, then:
V₁+4 = 48/T OR T=48/(V₁+4). Since Time is same, then we can write:
45/V₁ =48/(V₁+4), solve for V₁:
45V₁ + 180 = 48V₁
3V₁ =180 and V₁ = x = 60 km/h
