Answer:
#5 = option a (129.38 miles):
We are told that the cities are 17.25 inches apart, and that 2 inches equal 15 miles. First we have to divide 17.25 inches by 2 we end up with 8.62500 inches (not simplified yet). Next, we just take 8.62500 inches and multiply that with 15, which leaves us with 129.37500 inches. Then we just round that to the nearest hundredth which will give us 129.38 inches which means 129.38 miles as well!
#2 = option a (2.4 inches)
We know that bigger rectangle's length is 16 inch and that smaller rectangle's length is 3.2 inches. We just have to calculate the decrease of the length and we do that by dividing. We have to do 16 inches divided by 3.2 inches which equals 5. (You can double check that by multiplying 3.2 inches by 5 which would equal 16 inches) Now to find the width of the smaller rectangle, we just have to divide the width of the bigger rectangle, which is 12 inches, by 5 which would give us 2.4 inches!
#4 = ?
#6 = option c (7.2cm)
So basically I just did 25cm divided by 10cm which equals 2.5cm. (You can also do 25cm divided by 2.5cm to get 10cm if you want to double check). Then I just did 18cm divided by 2.5 cm which led me to the answer 7.2cm)
#3 = ?
