Answer 868 miles

Step by step

Given: The scale from a map to actual distance is 2.5 cm to 620 miles. If the distance on the map between Chicago and Boston is about 3.5 cm. Hence, the approximate distance between Chicago and Boston = 868 miles.

If the distance on the map between Chicago and Boston is about 3.5 cm.

Then, the actual distance between them =  3.5\times 248 \text{ miles}=868 \text{ miles}

Hence, the approximate distance between Chicago and Boston = 868 miles.

i.e.  1 cm on map = 620/2.5 miles =  248 miles

What is the value of x?
Andru [333]

I'm sure you know the formula for Pythagoras Theorem.

The formula is a^{2} +b^{2} = c^{2}

C = Your hypotenuse

A + B = The other two adjacent sides.  

So you plug in the numbers

33^{2} + b^{2} =65^{2}

And you'll get the answer, which is 56.

The smallest number of pencils and erasers and 1 eraser per pencil so number of pencils and erasers are equal
*GCD( 12;10) = 60
So Philip buy 60÷12=5 packages of erasers
60÷10=6 packaes of pencils
