Question

Each unit on the map represents 5 miles. If you drive 20% of the way from Landview to Seaside, how many miles have you driven, and in which quadrant would you be on the map?

Answer 1

3

Answer 2

how many miles

Answer 3

Actually, Sarah is wrong. There are 6 units separating Landview from Seaside. If each unit is 5 miles, then the total distance is 30 miles. But it is asking you what 20% of that is. 20% of 30 is
.2 * 30
Which is the same as dividing by 5.
30/5 is 6. The answer is 6. Not 3.

Answer 4

Six miles. There are other ways to do I don't think you want to know what they are.

Answer 5

Answer 9

\[6squares*\frac{5miles}{square}*0.20=6miles\]

\[6squares*0.2=1.2squares\] That's not enough to cross the x-axis so you'd still be in Quad 3.
