Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

77 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

1 inch = 3 miles in map

We are also given the actual distance between City A and City B = 231 miles.

In order to get the distance in inches = Distance between City A and City B in miles/ 3

We are dividing the distance by 3 to get the distance in inches.

So,

Distance on map = 231/3

= 77 inches

12 inch=36 miles because if you multiply 11 x 3 you get 36 miles.

4 - 5/2 * (1/10x) = 1 what is the value of x

Inga [223]

$4 - 5 / 2 * (1/10x) = 1\\$

The first step is to identify the order in which the equation must be solved, by following PEMDAS (you might know it as BEDMAS):

Parenthesis (or Brackets)

Exponents

Multiplication and Division

Addition and Subtraction

My advice would be to add parenthesis, following these rules, if you are not very good at finding them immediately by sight.

So:

$4 - 5 / 2 * (\frac{1}{10x}) = 1\\\\4 - [(5/2)*(\frac{1}{10x})]=1\\\\4-(2.5*\frac{1}{10x})=1\\\\4-\frac{2.5}{10x}-1=0\\3-\frac{x}{4}=0\\\frac{x}{4}=3\\x=3*4\\x=12$

We check our answer:

$x=12\\4 - [(5 / 2) * (1/10)*(x)] = 1\\4 - [(5 / 2) * (\frac{1}{10}) * (12))] = 1\\4 - [2.5 * (\frac{1}{10})*12] = 1\\4 - [(\frac{2.5}{10})*12] = 1\\4 - [(\frac{1}{4})*12] = 1\\4 - 3 = 1\\1=1$
