One inch on a map equals 150 miles. What do 3 1/2 inches represent?

Mathematics

nirvana33 [79]3 years ago
6 0
If 1 inch = 150 miles, we can use fractions (ratios) to determine what 3 1/2 inches would be

Since 1 is correlated to 150, they would be on the same fraction

1/150 (it really doesn’t matter which one is on top and which one is on the bottom)

And since 1 and 3 1/2 are both inches, they both go on the same side of the fraction. X would be a placeholder value for the miles

1/150 = 3.5/x

Multiply x

x • 1/150 = 3.5

Divide by 1/150 or multiply by 150 (they are the same in this case)

x = 525 miles

Or, more simply in this case, just multiply 3.5 inches by 150 miles

3.5 • 150 = 525 miles

Choose all of the points that would be on a graph for y=7x
pav-90 [236]
Hey there! :D

Plug in the points to see if they work. 

y=7x

(2,14) -> (x,y)

14=7*2

14=14

That works. 

(0,0) 

0=7*0

0=0

That works 

(1,7)

7=7*1

7=7

That works. 

The points that work are (2,14), (0,0), and (1,7)

I hope this helps!

A patient is supposed to receive a 1 1/3 mg of medication per kilogram of a wave is a patient weighs 87 kg how many milligrams o
kari74 [83]

Answer:

116 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

From the statement we have that a patient receives 1 1/3 mg of medicine per kilogram of his weight.

The first thing is to pass the mixed number 1 1/3 to a rational number, like this:

1 + 1/3 = 1.33

So it would be 1.33 mg of medicine per kg, if the patient weighs 87 kg, he should be given a total of:

1.33 * 87 = 116

A total of 116 mg should be given to that patient.
