The given equation is,
Thus, option (C) is the correct solution.
In order to answer that question, we need to know the scale of the map.
Without that information, no answer is possible.
I think you have it in the first part of the question ... the part you decided
not to post.

OK. Now that you've provided the scale of the map,
answering the question is a piece-o-cake.
Use a proportion:
(1 inch on the map) / (4 miles on the ground) = ('x' on the map) / (17 miles on the ground)
Answer: actual length = 45 ft
Explanation:
Scale drawn:
1/2 inch = 5ft
Meaning that if the drawing scale is 0.5 inch then the actual bus would be 5ft.
If the length of the drawn school bus is 4 1/2 inches. We can write:
1/2 = 5
4 1/2 = x
=> x = (5 x 4 1/2)/1/2
Or x = (5 x 4.5)/0.5
x = 22.5/0.5
x = 45
Therefore the actual length of the bus is 45 ft
Answer:0.36
Step-by-step explanation:
You divide 18 by 6.50, that give you the cost per ounce
If 1 serving = 1/4 pound, then 4 servings = 1 pound. 6 pounds *4=24 servings. That leaves 1/3 of a pound. 1/4 pound is less than 1/3 pound, so you get one more serving.
That makes 25 servings, and 1/12 of a pound left over.
How do you know it is 1/12? Well, LCD (lowest common denominator) shows that 1/3-1/4= 4/12-3/12=1/12.
