2. You started hiking the Appalachian Trail at Springer Mountain in Georgia. You finally reach Maine, the last state on the Appalachian Trail. Wanting to know how much fur- ther you have to hike, you pull out a 1:500,000 scale map of the state. You measure 35.6 inches from the Maine border (where you are standing) to Baxter Peak at the top of Mount Katahdin (the end of the trail). How many miles do you have to go? Hint: How many inches are there in a mile?

280.934 miles

Explanation:

Given

Scale = 1:500,000

Required

Determine the equivalent of 35.6 inches using the scale map in miles

First, we need to determine the actual distance in inches

Since the scale is 1:500000;

The actual distance is as follows;

Actual Distance = 35.6 * 500,000 inches

Actual Distance = 17,800,000  inches

Next, we calculate the equivalent in miles

1 inch = 1.57828e-5 mile

Multiply both sides by 17,800,000  

1 inch * 17,800,000   = 17,800,000  * 1.57828e-5 mile

17,800,000  inches = 280.93434343 miles

17,800,000  inches = 280.934 miles (Approximated)

the answer to the question is punishment. or more specifically, positive punishment.

positive punishment occurs when a behavior is given a negative consequence for the individual doing the behavior.

sara no longer wants to ask questions (the behavior) because she is ridiculed by mr. smith (the punishment).

reinforcement is inaccurate because reinforcement always gives positive consequences for the individual doing the behavior, be it by introducing a pleasant consequence or removing an unpleasant one.

their visual appeal is a sure hook into their content. but big books are also produced for pedagogical reasons, and using them in the classroom makes good teaching sense. an abundance of good children's literature in their lives is vitally important for young children as they strive toward independent reading.
