The scale of a map is 1 inch : 9.5 miles.

a) The actual distance between Joseph's house and the airport is 24 miles. How far apart are Joseph's house and the airport on the map?

b) Joseph traveled from his house to the airport. He then traveled another 16 miles past the airport to a restaurant. How many inches on the map represent this distance?

c) Upload your work to show how you got to the answer.

PLEASE HELP, REALLY URGENT

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of inches, divide miles by 9.5.

__

a) 24 miles = (24 mi)×(1 in)/(9.5 mi) = (24/9.5) in ≈ 2.526 in

__

b) 24 miles + 16 miles = 40 miles = (40 mi)×(1 in)/(9.5 mi) = 40/9.5 in ≈ 4.211 in

Comment on units conversion

I find it convenient to work units conversion problems by writing a fraction that is equal to 1 and multiplying by that to change units. My fraction has the "to" units in the numerator, and the "from" units in the denominator. That way, the unwanted units cancel when the multiplication is carried out.

The fraction is equal to 1 because the measurement in the numerator is equal to the measurement in the denominator.

Some folks prefer proportions. If you do it that way, be sure "like" is matched with "like".

  map inches/ground miles = 1/9.5 = x/24

  route inches/scale inches = route miles/scale miles = x/1 = 24/9.5

answer: there are 453.592 grams in a pound.

to find the perimeter, you add up all the lengths of the sides. in this case you would have to add up 18+22+40+80 which equals 160.
