Question

The scale on a map shows that 200 miles is represented by 5 inches on a map. Which proportion can be used to find the distance on the map, x, that represents 50 miles? StartFraction 5 over 200 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 50 EndFraction StartFraction 200 over 5 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 50 EndFraction StartFraction 50 over 200 EndFraction = StartFraction 5 over x EndFraction StartFraction 5 over 50 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 200 EndFraction

Answer 1

The proportion can be used to find the distance on the map (x) that represents 50 miles will be x/50 = 5 / 200. Then the correct option is A.

What are ratio and proportion?

A ratio is a collection of ordered integers a and b represented as a/b, with b never equaling zero. A proportionate expression is one in which two items are equal.

The scale on a map shows that 200 miles is represented by 5 inches on a map.

Then the proportion can be used to find the distance on the map (x) that represents 50 miles will be

x/50 = 5 / 200

Then  the correct option is A.
