The distance between Metropolis and Gotham City is 125 miles. If the scale on the map is 2 in: 25 mi, how far apart are they on the map?

10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's find how many 25 miles are in the total 125 miles.

125/25=5

If we need to count 2 inches on the map for every 25 miles, and there are five 25 miles in 125 miles, then we can do 5*2 to get 10 inches on the map

10 in

Step-by-step explanation:

125/25 = 5

5x2= 10

your answer is  

a.

5

step-by-step explanation:

the given 6 = w/p is equivalent to 6p = w, where w is the total area of the walls and p is the area covered by a single can of paint.

knowing that 6 cans of paint will be needed, 6p = w becomes 6(6) = w = 36.   this tells us that the total area to be painted is 36 square units.
