Allison was looking at a map with the following scale indicator. 2 inches = 6 miles Allison measured 3 inches between two towns on the map. What is the distance in miles between the two towns?

There is a distance of 9 miles between the two towns.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 2 inches is 6 miles. But to solve the question, we have to find out how many miles 3 inches is equal to.

In order to solve this, multiply 6 x 1.5, since 3 = 2 x 1.5.

6 x 1.5 = 9

It takes _8_ s for an object to fall 1000 feet. In 10 s, an object will fall _1600_ feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Determination of the time it takes for the object to 1000 ft.

Distance (d) = 1000 ft

Time (t) =?

t = √(d/16)

t = √(1000/16)

t = 8 s

B. Determination of how much feet an object will fall in 10 s.

Time (t) = 10 s

Distance (d) =?

t = √(d/16)

10 = √(d/16)

Take the square of both side

10² = d/16

100 = d/16

Cross multiply

d = 100 × 16

d = 1600 ft

SUMMARY

It takes _8_ s for an object to fall 1000 feet. In 10 s, an object will fall _1600_ feet.
