Answer:

The distance of the rivers on the map is of 1.23 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use proportions to solve this question, by a rule of three.

We have that:

If the actual distance is of 1000 miles, the distance on the map is of 12.3 inches. If the actual distance is 100 miles, what will be the distance on the map?

1000 miles - 12.3 inches

100 miles - x

Applying cross multiplication

1000x = 12.3*100

1000x = 1230

x = \frac{1230}{1000}

x = 1.23

The distance of the rivers on the map is of 1.23 inches.

alex41 [277]

Answer:

1/8, 0.0625 , or 6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

50% of the cars are painted white.

1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/8

Probability of A occuring 4 time(s) = 0.54 = 0.0625

Probability of A NOT occuring = (1 - 0.5)4 = 0.0625

Probability of A occuring = 1 - (1 - 0.5)4 = 0.9375

Y=1/4x−2y=−2x+3 help solve problem.
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

  (x, y) = (2 2/9, -1 4/9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Equate the values of y and solve for x.

  1/4x -2 = -2x +3

  (2 1/4)x = 5 . . . . . . . . add 2+2x to both sides

  x = 20/9 = 2 2/9 . . . multiply by 4/9

  y = -2(2 2/9) +3 = -4 4/9 +3 . . . . substitute for x in the second equation

  y = -1 4/9

The solution is x = 2 2/9, y = -1 4/9.
