a map has a scale of 2 in : 25 mi. The map shows a highway is 31 inches long. how long is the actual highway?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: 2 inches / 25 miles = 31 inches / x

Cross-multiply the proportion:

2x inch-miles = 775 inch-miles

Divide each side by 2 inches:

x miles = 775/2 = 387.5 miles

Answers

Ratio is of the form Cabin : Campers or Cabin / Campers.

Cabins = 15
Campers = 225

so Ratio = Cabin / Campers = 15 / 225 = 1/15

Ratio = 1 : 15

Answers

Answer: Choice A) The figure and its image are similar, but not congruent, and the image has been translated 1 unit up.

The jump from (x,y) to (2x,2y) means we dilated by a scale factor of 2. The image is twice as large as its original. There is no way the two figures are congruent (the larger image has longer side lengths). Despite congruence not being preserved, the two figures are the same shape, so they are similar figures. After the dilation is done, the "+1" tacked onto the "2y" means we shifted every point up 1 unit.

Given that 1 pound equals 16 ounces, how many pounds are in 208 ounces?

Answers

Answer: the answer is 13. you divide 208 by 16


Step-by-step explanation:


Answer: 13 pounds

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we are asked to convert 208 ounces into pounds which means we use the conversion factor for ounces and pounds.

Conversion factor ⇒ 16 ounces = 1 pound

Next, notice that we are going from a smaller unit "ounces" to a larger unit "pounds" and when we go from a smaller unit to a larger unit we divide 208 by the conversion factor which is 16.

208 ÷ 16 = 13

Therefore, there are 13 pounds in 208 ounces.
