I'm planning a cross trip with my family to Ohio. My phone died, so I pulled out an old paper map in my glove box to figure out how far my trip will take me. The map has a scale factor of 1 inches:100 miles. I measure with a ruler that our destination in Ohio is 3.7 inches away from my home in Virginia on the map. How far away is my destination in real life. Please include correct units

Equations and Inequations

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.

Linear Functions

A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
