Two cities are 3 1/2 inches apart on a map the map scale says that 1/4 inch is 1 mile how many miles apart are the two cities

every 1/4 inch on the map is 1 mile.

You need to find the number of 1/4 inches there are in 3 1/2 inches.

There are four 1/4 inches per inch.

3 x 4 = 12

There are two 1/4 inches in 1/2 inch.

12+2 = 14

The cities are 14 miles apart.

for finding the midpoint of any given 2 pair of points simply add the respective x coordinates with other x coordinate and the y coordinate with other y coordinate and divide them by 2

in your question it will be :

(3+1)/2 for the x coordinate of mid point i.e 2

[8+(-4)]/2 for the y coordinate of midpoint i.e 2

so coordinates of mid point of points (3,8) and (1,-4) will be (2,2)

-12 > a

step-by-step explanation:

-11 > 1 + a

subtract 1 from each side

-11-1 > 1-1+a

-12 > a
