The scale on a map of virginia shows that 1 centimeter represents 30 miles. the actual distance from richmond, va to washington, dc is 110 miles. on the map, how many centimeters are between the two cities? round your answer to the tenth.

The ratio of cm to mi is 1/30, and we are looking for x/110. Since 1/30 = x/110, 30x=110.
x = 110/30 = 11/3 = 3.7 cm

One shot. if 60% of 10 is 6, then what is 70%? we know it would be seven (since 60% is mathematically 60/100, or 6/10, then 70% is 70/100, or 7/10) but we can check anyway using ratios: 6 : 60% = x : 70%*inverse multiplicationx * 60% = 6 * 70%*divide both sides by 60%x = (6 * 70%) / 60%x = 7and since he has made 6 shots already, he would need just one more to get 7 shots or 70%. if the explanation is too confusing, comment and i will try to
