On a map 1/2 of an inch represents 4/5 of a mile. what distance on the map represents 1 mile?

Since it is given that 4/5 mile is equal to 1/2 inch, what we will be looking for how many inches will there be for 1 mile. 5/5 mile = 1 mile. 

This is how it would look like.

1/2 inch       x inch

          =       

..4/5 mile 1 mile 

Next, we cross multiply:

(1/2)1 = (4/5)x

Then divide both sides by 4/5. so we get

x = 0.025 inch

and that is 1/40 inch. Therefore, 1 mile is 1/40 inch. Hope this helps.

constant acceleration- a

constant velocity- c

no velocity or acceleration- b

explanation:

for body moving with a constant acceleration, the rate of change of displacement changes over time. this is proven by the increasing gradient of the curve (a) against time.

a body that is moving at constant velocity covers equal distances over equal periods of time, thus the straight line with a constant gradient c.

a stationary body   covers no displacement as time elapses. thus the flat line with   zero gradient.

the correct answer is 1: 2
