The scale of a map says that 3 cm represents 8 km. What distance on the map (in centimeters) represents an actual distance of 20 kilometers?

What is the actual number of kilometers that is represented by 12 centimeters on the map?

PLEASE HELP ME ASAP I WILL MAKE YOU BRAINIEST!!

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem 1

Set Up the Proportion

3 cm / 8 km = x / 20 km                Cross multiply

3*20 = 8x                                        Combine the left

60 = 8x                                           Divide by 8

60/8 = x

7 4/8  = x

7 1/2 km = x

7.5 km  = x

Problem 2

3 cm / 8km = 12 cm / x                  Cross multiply

3x = 12 * 8                                      Combine the right

3x = 96                                          Divide by 3

3x/3 = 96/3

x = 32 km

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
