Answer:

60 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the scale map is 0.5 inch : 20 miles. On the map, the distance between two cities is 1.5 inches. We are asked to find the actual distance between the two cities.

We will use proportions to solve for the actual distance between both cities as:

\frac{\text{Actual distance}}{\text{Map distance}}=\frac{20\text{ miles}}{\text{0.5 inch}}

\frac{\text{Actual distance}}{\text{1.5 inches}}=\frac{20\text{ miles}}{\text{0.5 inch}}

\frac{\text{Actual distance}}{\text{1.5 inches}}*\text{1.5 inches}=\frac{20\text{ miles}}{\text{0.5 inch}}*\text{1.5 inches}

\text{Actual distance}=20\text{ miles}*3

\text{Actual distance}=60\text{ miles}

Therefore, the actual distance between both cities is 60 miles.

Divide 7/24 by 35/48 and reduce the quotient to the lowest fraction
tiny-mole [99]
\frac{7}{24} ÷ \frac{35}{48}
Multiply \frac{7}{24} by the reciprocal of \frac{35}{48}, which is \frac{48}{35}

=\frac{7}{24} × \frac{48}{35}
=\frac{336}{840}

We can simplify it further:
The greatest common factor here is 168
\frac{336/168}{840/168}

=\frac{2}{5}

Mrs Thomas earns 18.80 per hour for the first 40 hours of work in a week .He earns 1 and a half times and that amount per hour f
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr Thomas earns 18.80 per hour for the first 40 hours of work in a week. This means that the total amount that he earned in the first

40 hours of work would be

40 × 18.8 = $752

He earns 1 and a half times and that amount per hour for each hour he works over 40 hours in a week. This amount per hour would be

1.5 × 18.8 = $28.2

Last week, Mr Thomas worked 45.5 hours. The extra hours that he worked is 45.5 - 40 = 5.5 hours.

Amount earned for 5.5 hours is

5.5 × 28.2 = $155.1

Total amount that Mr Thomas earned is

752 + 155.1 = $907.1
