Variables and Unknowns

Hard

(Originais Teachy 2024) - Question Hard of Mathematics

In an interdisciplinary study that combines Mathematics and Geography, 7th-grade students were challenged to calculate real distances between cities using scales and linear equations. Consider that on the map used, the distance between cities A and B is represented by 5.8 cm, while in the real world this distance is 406 km. Furthermore, it is known that city C is halfway between A and B, forming a straight line segment with both cities. If the distance between city A and C is denoted by 'x' km, and the distance between C and B is represented by 'y' km, and it is known that x + y = 406, determine the exact distance (in km) between cities A and C and between C and B. Consider that the scale of the map is constant for all directions.
a.
The exact distance between cities A and C is 203 km, and the exact distance between C and B is 203 km.
b.
The exact distance between cities A and C is 102 km, and the exact distance between C and B is 304 km.
c.
The exact distance between cities A and C is 305 km, and the exact distance between C and B is 101 km.
d.
The exact distance between cities A and C is 406 km, and the exact distance between C and B is 0 km.
e.
The exact distance between cities A and C is 203 km, and the exact distance between C and B is also 203 km.

The image presented in the figure is a black and white copy of the square canvas titled The Fish, by Marcos Pinto, which was placed on a wall for exhibition and fixed at points A and B (figure 1). Due to a problem in fixing one of the points, the canvas detached and rotated close to the wall. After the rotation, it was positioned as illustrated in figure 2, forming a 45° angle with the horizon line. Figure 1 Figure 2 To put the canvas back in its original position, it should be rotated, close to the wall, at the smallest possible angle less than 360°. The way to put the canvas back in the original position, following what was established, is by rotating it at an angle of

João is organizing a birthday party and wants to make a larger quantity of his favorite cake recipe. The original recipe yields a cake with 20 slices and uses 3 cups of flour, 2 cups of sugar, and 1 cup of oil. João wants to make a cake with 40 slices. a) How many cups of flour, sugar, and oil should he use to make a cake that yields 40 slices? b) If he wanted to make a cake with 60 slices, what would be the quantity of cups of each ingredient? c) João noticed that the number of cake slices is always half the number of cups of water used in the recipe. How many cups of water are needed for a cake of 80 slices?
