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

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of the y-axis would be x=0

Take two points from both functions. You

will find out that both slopes are the same.

Also you can see that the functions have different y-intercepts.

If the functions have the same slope but different y-intercepts they are parallel to each other

I hope this helps

The midpoint formula is:
(point1 + point2)/2

1) (-2 + 12)/2 = 5

2) (-1 +5)/2 = 2
    (0+2)/2 = 1
     (2,1)

3) Sqrt of (x2-x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2
     sqrt of (7 -1)^2 + (-7 - 1)^2
     sqrt of (6)^2 + (-8)^2
     sqrt of 36 + 64
     sqrt of 100
     10

Hope this helps!

The Royal Fruit Company produces two types of fruit drinks. The first type is 40% pure fruit juice, and the second type is 100%
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

you will 180 pints of the 100% juice and 540 pints of the 40% juice

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to get a 55% mixture you must combine 1 100% and 3 40%

100 + 120 = 220 then divide by 4 and you get 55% juice

now you must use 180 100% juice and 540 40 % juice to make 180 pints

you need this because the ratio is 3 40% to every 1 100%
