12 inches
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if 2 inches=25 miles
then 1 inch=??
hint: you have to divide
OpenStudy (anonymous):
not 12 but almost, it will be a decimal because 25 is an odd number and it cant be divided evenly
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1.578
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no, it would be 12.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):
with part b you have to take 1inch = 12.5 miles and it says what is 1/4 inch represent. What do you think we have to do?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
umm . divide?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes, what do you divide?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
umm idk :( sorry
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thats ok, we have to divide 12.5 by 4 because it wants what 1/4 of an inch is worth in miles, so what do you get when you divide 12.5 by 4
