The scale of a map is 1 cm :12 km find the actual distance for each map distance 1.) 1.5 cm
2.) 12 cm
3.)4.25
4.)8.3

1) 18

2) 144

3) 51

4) 99.6

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Multiply 1.5 by 12, as 1.5 divided by 1 is 1

2) Multiply 12 by 12, as 12 divided by 1 is 1

3) Multiply 4.25 by 12, as 4.25 divided by 1 is 1

4) Multiply 8.3 by 12, as 8.3 divided by 1 is 1

step-by-step explanation:

we need to solve for 'x' the following equation:  

we have that:

⇒

⇒ ⇒

factorizing, we get that:

  ⇒

then, the solutions are: or

you didn't post any answer choices, so its not 100% clear what your teacher is looking for

however, log(15/7) is equivalent to log(15) - log(7)

i'm using the rule log(x/y) = log(x) - log(y)
