Question

A map using the scale of 3/4 of an inch to aubergine 3 miles if the actual distance between two cities is 25 miles then what is the length on the map

Answer 1

Answer:

6.25 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 inches = 0.75 inches

If 0.75 inches is the map's scale for 3 miles, then:

0.75 inches / 3 miles = 0.25 inches per 1 mile

Multiply 0.25 inches inches per mile * 25 miles:

0.25 * 25 = 6.25 inches

OR:

0.75/3 = x/25

Multiply 25 by both sides:

x = (0.75/3)*25

x = 6.25 inches
