Question

If 10 inches on a map represents an actual distance of 100 feet, then what

Answer 1

According to the given conditions, state:

10 × 100 = 25 ÷ x

If the fraction is defined, then the denominator cannot equal 0:

x≠0

Attach the inequality as the domain: x≠0

Reduce the fraction to the smallest term, canceling the greatest common factor: 1/10 = 25/x.

Multiply both sides of the equation by the common denominator:

10x/10 = 25 × 10x / x

Simplify the fractions: x = 250

Find the intersection: x = 250

get the result: x = 250

Answer: x = 250

the actual distance would be 250 feet.
