Using the given scale ratio on the map and setting up a proportion with the real distance to the capital, then solving, we get that the state capital is represented as being 3.5 inches from the border on this map.
The subject of this question is applied mathematics, specifically ratios. The scale on the map is given as 1/4 in : 18 mi. This means that for every 1/4 inch on the map, it represents 18 miles in reality. To figure out how far the capital is from the border on the map, you'll implement this scale ratio.
First, you make a fraction with the scale, with the real distance (18 miles) on top and the map distance (1/4 inch) on the bottom. Then, you set up a proportion with this fraction equal to another fraction consisting of the real distance to the capital on top (252 miles) and an unknown distance on the map at the bottom, which we can represent as x.
The fraction then looks like this: 18/0.25 = 252/x. Solving for x gives you x = (0.25*252)/18 = 3.5. Therefore, the state capital is represented as being 3.5 inches from the border on this map.

Answer:
5.5 but to have half a balloon is impossible so we should say 4 just for the case of it
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that there are 8 people and 44 balloons, they want to be shared equally, "equally" is a term for division, so we divide.
44 / 8
==> 5.5
Of course there is no such thing as a half balloon, so if we were to ask how many everyone would get, it would be 4 at most.
less than half because .5 is half of one
.5 = .50
compare the 2. that's what I do.
.50
.21
forget the decimal. and pretend that 100 = 1
Hope this helped
