Answer Keys

1a.   > (use calculator for 1/3 = 0.3333.)

  b.  =

  c.  >


2. y = kx

    20 = k(25)

     k = 20/25 = 4/5

   When x = 10, y = 4/5(10) = 8


3.  y = k/x

     20 = k/25

      k = 20 x 25 = 500

      When x = 10, y = 500/10 

       y = 50


4a.  1 : 500000

 1m = 100cm

  500 m = 50000 cm

  1km = 1000m

0.5 km = 500 m

50000 cm = 0.5km

4b. 1cm => 0.5 km

      12 cm => 12 x 0.5 km

                 = 6km

4c.  1cm => 0.5km

            ? <= 35km

        1cm => 0.5km   (make unit to 1km, 1cm x 2 => 0.5km x 2)

         2cm => 1km.   

          2cm x 35 => 1km x 35

       Distance on map  70cm


5.  x + 18/15


8.  4x = -3 (x - 3)

     4x = -3x + 9

          = x + 9


13. x = 7.5


18a. 18.75km    b. 2.08cm2


67a. 37   b. 34
