OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats your question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok lets start with part A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 inches=25 miles How many inches equal 60 miles? This requires breaking down inches into smaller measurements so lets start there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 inch equals ?? fill in the blank

OpenStudy (anonymous):

60 miles equals 3,801,600 inches

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wrong, but thats ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lets start by figuring out what 1 inch equals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but thats just 1 inch

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think @TheSmartOne can explain it in more detail

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok but can you keep helping to find the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok How many inches on the map represent 60 miles?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me work it out give me a minute

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 4.8 inches

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no thats too much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats correct, sorry i read it wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait so whats the answer for part A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4.8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok now lets do part b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How many miles are represented by 1/4 inch on the map?

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3.125

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct!! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that the answer or we have to do more?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope, thats the answer! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so for part b its 3.125 miles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and for part A its 4.8 inches?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you 100% sure that both answers are correct because i cant get them wrong :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good job on working really hard! I hope you fully understand it now! If you have any more questions, feel free to tag my username! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me check over them again, give me 4 minutes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok no problem :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes both answers are right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
