Okay, well remember we got 12.25 when we divided? Now we multiply that to 1/4, what's \(\sf 12.25 \times 0.25\)?
OpenStudy (mvpriest6):
3.0625
OpenStudy (igreen):
Yep, so \(\dfrac{1}{4}\) inches on the map represents 3.0625 miles.
OpenStudy (mvpriest6):
I dont quite get that could u do it one more time plz
OpenStudy (igreen):
Well in the last question it said 2 inches is 25 miles.
So we can set up a proportion, we plug in 0.25 because that represents 1/4 inches, and 'x' represents the number of miles we want to find.
\(\sf \dfrac{2}{25} = \dfrac{0.25}{x}\)
Cross multiply:
\(\sf 6.25 = 2x\)
Divide 2 to both sides:
\(\sf x = 3.0625\)
