On a map to cities are about 50 mm apart if the scale is 1 cm equals 15.5 miles how far apart are the two cities

Given:

On a map to cities are about 50 mm apart.

Scale is 1 cm equals 15.5 miles.

To find:

The distance between two cities.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

1 cm = 15.5 miles

It means

10 mm = 15.5 miles             [1 cm = 10 mm]

Now,

10 mm on a map = 15.5 miles

1 mm on a map = miles

                          = 1.55 miles

50 mm on a map = 50 × 1.55 miles

                            = 77.5

Therefore, the two cities are 77.5 miles apart.

answer: sine

step-by-step explanation:

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
