On a map, 1/4 inch between locations represents an actual distance of 2 miles between the locations. What is the actual distance, in miles, between the two cities that are 3 3/4 inches apart on the map?

30 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 = 2

3  3/4 = x

15/4 = x

So, Cross multiply

=> 1/4 * x = 15/4 * 2

=> 1/4x = 15/4 * 4/2

=> 1/4x = 60/8

=> 1/4x = 7.5

=> 1/4x * 4 = 7.5 * 4

=> x = 30

So, 15/4 inches on the map equals 30 miles.

step-by-step explanation:

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
