The scale of a map says that 3 cm represents 8 km. What distance on the map (in centimeters) represents an actual distance of 20 kilometers?

What is the actual number of kilometers that is represented by 12 centimeters on the map?

PLEASE HELP ME ASAP I WILL MAKE YOU BRAINIEST!!

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem 1

Set Up the Proportion

3 cm / 8 km = x / 20 km                Cross multiply

3*20 = 8x                                        Combine the left

60 = 8x                                           Divide by 8

60/8 = x

7 4/8  = x

7 1/2 km = x

7.5 km  = x

Problem 2

3 cm / 8km = 12 cm / x                  Cross multiply

3x = 12 * 8                                      Combine the right

3x = 96                                          Divide by 3

3x/3 = 96/3

x = 32 km

answer: bea's uncle is 25 years old.

step-by-step explanation:

given the equation , we can say that the variable "x" represents the age of bea's uncle. then to find his age, we need to solve for "x":

we must add 15 to both sides of the equation:

now we need to divide both sides of the equation by 3:

therefore, we can conclude that bea's uncle is 25 years old.
