Answer:

75miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the location of Asheville, B be the location of Boulder and W be the location of wellspring.

If well spring is located exactly halfway between Asheville and Boulder, then;

AW + WB = AB

If Asheville and Boulder are 2.5 inches apart on a map, then AB = 2.5 inches

The actual distance from wellspring to Boulder is WB

Since W is the midpoint of A and B, then AW = WB. The equation becomes;

WB + WB = AB

2WB = AB

WB = AB.2

WB = 2.5/2

WB = 1.25 inches

Hence the distance from wellspring to Boulder is 1.25inches.

Since  0.5 inches = 15 miles on the map,

1.25inches = x

Cross multiply;

0.5x = 15 * 1.25

0.5x = 18.75

x = 18.75/1.25

x = 75miles

Hence the actual distance from wellspring to Boulder is 75miles

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

6%

Percentage of teachers = 6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Number of grade k-2 students = 137

Number of grade 3-5 students = 145

Total = 300

Number of teachers = 300 - (137+145) = 18

Percentage of teachers = (number of teachers÷total)× 100%

%T = (18/300) × 100

%T = 6%
