For <span>12/15=47/50, we multiply 12/15 by (1/3)/(1/3) to get 4/5. For 47/50, we multiply it by (1/10)/(1/10) to get the same denominator and 4/7/5. They are not equal.
For 16/36 and 12/27, we'll notice that 36 and 27 are both multiples of 9, so we need to get that as the denominator! Multiply 16/36 by (1/4)/(1/4) because 9 goes into 36 4 times and 12/27 by (1/3)/(1/3) due to that 27 goes into 9 3 times, we get 4/9=4/9 - these are equal!
I challenge you to get the rest of them on your own using my techniques!</span>
Answer:
<em>150 miles</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the scale on the map using the conversion factor
1 inch = 50 miles
We are to find the equivalent miles between the cities in miles if the distace is 3inches
3inches = x
Divide both expressions
1/3 = 50/x
Cross multiply
x = 3 * 50
x = 150
<em>Hence the actual distance between these two cities in miles is 150 miles </em>
You can just check every peach untill you sort them through so 50
