A map shows a town with a area of 3.5 square inches. if the map has a scale of 1 inch : 4 miles, what is the actual area of the town?

14 sq. mi.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the scale we can see that for every inch there are an actual 4 miles in the town. Therefore, this is 4 times the model version meaning that if the model's area is calculated as 3.5 square inches then we can multiply this by 4 to get the actual area of the town.

3.5 sq. in. * 4 = 14 sq. miles

Finally, we can see that the area of the town is 14 sq. mi.

answer:

given the linear inequality :

add 2y to both sides we get;

simplify:

add 12 to both sides of an equation;

simplify:

divide both sides by 2 we get;

or

the related equation for the inequality equation [1] is;

y-intercepts defined as the graph crosses the y-axis.

substitute x =0 in [2] to solve for y;

y = 6

x-intercepts defined as the graph crosses the x-axis.

substitute value y = 0 to solve for x;

subtract 6 from both sides we get

multiply both sides by 2 we get;

or

x = -12

now, plot these point (0, 6) and (-12, 0) on graph as shown below and shade the graph below the solid line.
