D Correct answer
Explanation

Scale = real distance : map distance. Convert both to the same unit: 400 feet = 400 × 12 = 4800 inches. Scale = 4800 inches : 3 inches = 4800:3 = 1600:1, which is written as 1:1600. This means 1 inch on the map represents 1600 inches in reality.

C Correct answer
Explanation

One kilometer is approximately 0.621371 miles. Therefore, 0.62 is the correct conversion factor.

Multiple choice
  1. y = 3

  2. y = -9

  3. Both 1 and 2

  4. None of these

C Correct answer
Explanation

PQ = 10 units $\sqrt{(10-2)^2 + (y+3)^2} = 10 \Rightarrow \sqrt{64+ y^2 + 6y + 9} = 10$Squaring both sides: 64 + y2 + 6y + 9 = 100 $\Rightarrow$ y2 + 6y - 27 = 0 y2 + 9y - 3y - 27 = 0     $\Rightarrow$ y(y + 9) - 3(y + 9) = 0 (y + 9) (y - 3) = 0  $\Rightarrow$ y +9 = 0 $\Rightarrow$ y= -9 and y -3 = 0 $\Rightarrow$ y = 3
