Answer 1

@amorfide can you help me please?

Answer 2

i don't understand how to do it

Answer 3

you know 2inches=25 miles
how do you get from 25 to 60?
25 multiplied by an unknown is 60
so let's make the unknown x

25x=60
x=60/25
x=12/5

so use a calculator and you know x=2.4

so this means you multipled 25 by 2.4 to get to 60
so if you multiply 2inches by the same, then you get your amount in inches

Answer 4

i don't understand so the answer is 36?

Answer 5

@amorfide ?

Answer 6

or is it the answer 2.4?

Answer 7

u there @amorfide ?

Answer 8

you know that 25 was multiplied by something to get to 60
so 25x=60 work out x
so once you know x=2.4

25(2.4)=60

so to find out how many inches represent 60 miles
you have

2x=25x
2(2.4)=25(2.4)

so 4.8inches=60miles

Answer 9

so the answer is 4.8?
