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

What is the point slope of an equation with slope of 3/5 that passes through the point (10,-2)
Verdich [7]
The answer would be B. It gives you the slope and a point on the graph so use that to your advantage. All of the answers show the slope and the slope in the right place, so for now it can be any of them. Then we get to the point (10,-2). For point slope form you would switch the signs for both x and y. So the Y would now be +2 and x would be -10. Y goes together with y, and X goes together with x. In this case y+-y= slope(X+-x) Substitute in for them. Y+2=3/5(X-10)

Answer:

  4/5 acre

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume your allocations are ...

  goats: 3/5 acre

  pigs: 1/5 acre

  llamas: 2/5 acre

2 acres is 10/5 acres, so the remaining area is ...

  10/5 -3/5 -1/5 -2/5 = (10 -3 -1 -2)/5 = 4/5

4/5 acre is allocated to horses.
