Question

Can someone help me and explain it to me

Answer 1

1)6

2)4

3)27

4)126

5)15

Explanation:

1) so the ratio given is 2 inch=8 miles.

to make the ratio simpler we can divide it by 2 into 1 inch=4 miles.

(2 inch/2=8miles/2)

now we got (some number) inch= 24 miles

so

1 inch = 4 miles is related to

(some number) inch = 24 miles

now we'll divide 24 miles by 4 miles.

then we'll get the missing inch, which is 6.

to make sure you're correct use the original scale

1:4 and substitute 6 in.

6:(6x4)

6:24#

give up.cuz i see someone with a much simplier and easier to understand answer

Answer 2

1) 6

2)4

3)27

4)126

5)15

Explanation:

1. We need to see how many 8-miles are in 24 miles, than multiple it with 2in.

(24/8)*2=3*2=6in

2. Fist we calcue how many 17-feets are in 68feets, and multiple that with 1in.

(68/17)*1=4

3. We first see how many 3ins are in 9ins, and than multiple that with 9feet

(9/3)*9=3*9=27

4. First see how many 2ins are in 36ins, and then multiple it with 7.

(36/2)*7=18*7=126feet

5. See how many 15fts are in 75ft And than multiple it with 3.

(75/15)*3=5*3=15
