i got 4.8 for the first answer and i got 3.125 for the second answer

OpenStudy (faithhouse):

part A. is 4.8

OpenStudy (manish00333):

try putting it in an equation! \[\frac{ 2 }{ 25 } = \frac{ x }{ 60 }\] and \[\frac{ 2 }{ 25 } = \frac{ 1/4 }{ y } = \frac{ 1 }{4 y }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 4.8 for the first one...ill show you my work :)

OpenStudy (manish00333):

try isolating y for the second one

OpenStudy (manish00333):

oh you already got it :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok well for part A 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 12.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but thats just 1 inch so the answer is 4.8 inches :) thats for part a

@jtvatsim

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

Part A is correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and part b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 3.125

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

Part B is correct as well. You know that 2 inches is 25, so divide by 2 to get 1 inch. Then divide that by 4 to get 1/4 inch. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx :)

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

no worries :)
