i got 4.8 for the first answer and i got 3.125 for the second answer

3. anonymous

part A. is 4.8

4. anonymous

try putting it in an equation! $\frac{ 2 }{ 25 } = \frac{ x }{ 60 }$ and $\frac{ 2 }{ 25 } = \frac{ 1/4 }{ y } = \frac{ 1 }{4 y }$

i got 4.8 for the first one...ill show you my work :)

6. anonymous

try isolating y for the second one

7. anonymous

oh you already got it :P

8. anonymous

ok well for part A 2 inches=25 miles How many inches equal 60 miles? This requires breaking down inches into smaller measurements so lets start there.

9. anonymous

1 inch equals 12.5

10. anonymous

but thats just 1 inch so the answer is 4.8 inches :) thats for part a

Part A is correct.

14. anonymous

and part b?

15. anonymous

i got 3.125

16. jtvatsim

Part B is correct as well. You know that 2 inches is 25, so divide by 2 to get 1 inch. Then divide that by 4 to get 1/4 inch. :)
