Answer:

<em>1,760 actual miles separate Springfield from Glenview.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Scaling</u>

Objects can be represented in a reduced or augmented size by using scaling which is basically multiplying or dividing real dimensions by a constant factor. We use scaling when representing geographic locations on a map.

The map has the scale:

0.75 inch => 220 miles

This gives us the scaling factor as 220/0.75. There is no need to divide.

We are given the distance from Springfield to Glenview is 6 inches on the map. The actual distance is

6*220/0.75 = 1,760

1,760 actual miles separate Springfield from Glenview.

Answer:

Apples and Peaches

Step-by-step explanation:

It is convenient to compare the prices for 3 lbs of each of the fruits.

Multiply the price and quantity of Apples by 4:

... 4×(3/4 lb) = 4×$1.59

... 3 lb = $6.36 . . . . for apples

Multiply the price and quantity of Plums by 6:

... 6×(0.5 lb) = 6×$1.15

... 3 lb = $6.90 . . . . for plums

The two lowest-priced fruits are apples (6.36/(3 lb)) and peaches (5.37/(3 lb)).

_____

<em>Comment on</em> the best deal

No criteria are provided for determining the best deal. Though plums are higher-priced, they have somewhat higher polyphenol content than apples or peaches, so may provide the best deal in terms of nutrition per dollar.
