Jill is using a map of her town to determine how far the park is from school. The map does not have a scale, but Jill knows her school is 3 miles from home. On the map, the distance between home and school measures 1.5 inches. If the park is 2.5 inches from the school on the map, what is the actual distance in miles?

The answer is five miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here’s one way to solve this problem.

First, write the ratio of the known distance on the map to the corresponding actual distance, one point five inches over three miles.

Next, choose a variable, such as d, to represent the unknown distance between the school and the park.

Then, write the ratio of the distance from the park to the school on the map to the corresponding actual distance, two point five inches over d miles.

Next, write a proportion equating the two ratios.

Now, cross multiply.

Finally, divide both sides by one point five to arrive at the actual distance, five miles.

So, the actual distance between the park and the school is five miles.

5 miles!

Hope this is helpful ^>^

so a parallelogram is just like a square base times height. multiply 40 and 39 to get 1560 inches.

a triangle is base times height divided by two. so multiply 7.9 and 5 and then divide it by 2 to get 19.75inches.

the kite can be split into two separate triangles and added together to get the total area. 30 x 4 /2 which equals 60. make sure to double it for the two triangles making 120.

45.36 feet per second

step-by-step explanation:

tyrone travels 30 miles in 58.2 minutes.  

1 mile = 5280 feet; this means he travels

30(5280) = 158400 feet in 58.2 minutes.

1 minute = 60 seconds; this means he travels 158400 feet in

58.2(60) = 3492 seconds.

this gives us the unit rate of

158400/3492 = 45.36 feet per second.
