While on a beach vacation, Tasha made a scale drawing of points of interest between 2 piers. On her drawing, 2 cm represents 0.5 mi. The piers are 12 cm apart on Tasha's drawing. What is the actual distance? HELP!
Include formula to solve problems like this!!

The distance between the two piers is 3 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

If in Tasha's drawing 2cm represents 0.5 miles between the two piers, and the distance between the two piers in Tasha's drawing is 12cm.

The answer is found by the rule of three:

2 cm : 0.5 miles

12 cm : X

X = (12 * 0.5) / 2

X = 3 miles.

The distance between the two piers is actually 3 miles.

Integers is a number without a decimal point.

To do this we need to find the two perfect squares in between 23.5, which are 16 and 25. Since 23.5 is closest to 25, your answer is √25, or 5.

Doing this on the second one, We need to find the perfect cube roots that have 430 in between. It is 343 and 512. Since 430 is closer to 343, your answer is the cube root of 343, or 7.

Hope this helps!
