The scale on a map reads 1/2 inch = 30 miles. If two cities on the map are 5 3/4 inches apart, find the actual distance between the cities

The actual distance between cities = 345 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Scale on map is

1/2 inch = 30 miles

0.5 inch = 30 miles

Distance between two cities on map = = = 5.75 inches

Actual distance = x

As the relationship is proportional

0.5 : 30 :: 5.75 : x

Product of mean = Product of extreme

30*5.75 = 0.5x

172.5 = 0.5x

0.5x = 172.5

Dividing both sides by 0.5

Hence,

The actual distance between cities = 345 miles

if y=4x then you will substitute 4x in for y in the second equation.

8x + 4x = 18 combine like terms

12x = 18 divide by 12 on both sides

x = 18/12 or 3/2

now replace x in the first equation with 3/2 to get

y = 4 3/2

y = 6

the answer is a

(3/2,6)
