Answer:
9 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
As you may know, when you divide a positive number by a negative number, the quotient (result of the division) is negative.
Knowing this, all you have to do is divide the numbers normally as positive numbers and then add a negative sign at the end.
To divide fractions, you change the sign to multiplication and multiply the first number by the reciprocal of the second number.
The reciprocal is just the "flipped" version of a fraction.
For example, the reciprocal of 3/4 would be 4/3.
In this problem, you can't reduce.
So, just multiply the top numbers and do the same with the bottom numbers.
That would be .
35*4=140 and 5*3=15.
The fraction would be 140/15
You can divide 140 by 15, which would be 9 and 1/3

Since the problem is given all the total walking distance, the first thing we are going to do is find the total distance in the map:
Now that we have the distance in the map, we can establish a ratio between the walking distance and the distance in the map:
We can conclude that each inch the map represents 0.5 miles of walking distance.
