A map show a town with an area of 3.5 inches.If the map has a scale of 1 inch:4 miles,what is the actual area of the town?
1 answer:
Answer:
The actual area of the town is 14 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you know that the scale is 1 inch:4 miles and that the map shows a town with an area of 3.5 inches, you can expressed this as follows:
Scale: 1 inch:4 miles
map area: 3.5 inches
If the actual area is x, you can say that:
3.5:x=1:4
This would be:
Now, you can solve for x:
x=(3.5*4)/1
x=14
According to this, the answer is that the actual area of the town is 14 miles.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>
A system that has one or infinitely many solutions is called <em>consistent. </em>If an equation in a system tells us no new information then the equations of the system are <em>dependent. </em>In other words, to find an equation that creates a consistent and dependent system with the given equation we have to get the same line:
The given line is:
If we multiply both sides of the equation by a constant we will have the same line when plotting, therefore let's multiply by 3:
So a system of two linear equation that is consistent and dependent is:
