Question

Vector's map has the scale missing. He knows that the distance from the lake to the youth center is 8 miles. On the map , they are 2in apart. What is the scale for vectors map?

Answer 1

That would be 2/8, so simplify that to 1 in: 4 miles

Answer 2

Answer: The scale for vectors map is 1 in=4 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given situation:-

Actual distance between lake and the youth center = 8 miles

Distance shown on the map between lake and the youth center =2 in

Thus 1 in distance shown on the map =$\frac{8 miles}{2 in}=\frac{4 miles}{1 in}$

Therefore, the scale for vectors map is 1 in =4 miles.
