@phi

Answer 4

you did part A in the other post.

Answer 5

120/25 = 4.8

Answer 6

yes A, is 4.8 inches
for part B,
can you write the ratios? give it a try.

Answer 7

huh?

Answer 8

can you re-read the other post, and try to do that for part B ?

Answer 9

I can't by myself its a completely different question...

Answer 10

not completely different.
first, from the first sentence in the problem you should get this:
2 inches is to 25 miles

Answer 11

\[\frac{ 2 }{ 25 }\]

Answer 12

in part B, it asks about 1/4 of an inch is how many miles
write
1/4 inch is to x

Answer 13

\[\frac{ }{ 1/4 }\]

Answer 14

almost. but the first ratio you wrote was 2 inches / 25 miles
notice we have inches up top and miles in the bottom

when you write 1/4 inches is to x miles, we want inches up top and miles in the bottom

Answer 15

\[\frac{ 1/4 }{ x }\]

Answer 16

yes.
with ratios, we set them equal to each other
\[ \frac{2}{25}= \frac{1/4}{x} \]

the "x miles" is in the bottom (as it should be), but it would be nicer if it were up top
we can do that *if we flip* both sides

Answer 17

\[ \frac{25}{2} = \frac{x}{1/4} \]

Answer 18

ok

Answer 19

now what

Answer 20

it still looks a bit ugly, but we can "get rid of 1/4" by multiply top and bottom by 4

Answer 21

in other words we do
\[ \frac{x\cdot 4}{\frac{1}{4} \cdot 4} \]

Answer 22

1/4 * 4 in the bottom simplifies to 1

Answer 23

x/1

Answer 24

I hope you mean 4x/1

Answer 25

yea

Answer 26

\[ \frac{25}{2} = \frac{x}{1/4} \\ \frac{25}{2} =4x\]
I would divide both sides by 4 (to get x by itself)

Answer 27

6.25 and .5

Answer 28

@phi

Answer 29

25/2 is 12.5
so you have
12.5 = 4x
or
4x= 12.5

then divide both sides by 4
4x/4 = 12.5/4
x= 12.5/4

Answer 30

ok so what would i put in the box

Answer 31

12.5/4?

Answer 32

I think they want you to first simplify that

Answer 33

3.25

Answer 34

@phi

Answer 35

close. is you calculator broken?

Answer 36

idk oh 3.125

Answer 37

yes, that looks good.

Answer 38

ok that is what i put in the box?

Answer 39

for part B

Answer 40

2 more?
