Answer:
An actual distance of 360 miles correspond to 9 inches on the map
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we have a scale of 0.5 inches representing 20 miles
Now, we want to relate an actual distance of 360 miles to a measurement on the map using the scale
From here, we have that;
0.5 inches = 20 miles
x inches = 360 miles
x * 20 = 0.5 * 360
20x = 180
x = 180/20
x = 9 inches
Well, all you have to do to solve this is multiply 850 times 10, which is 8,500, so that means there are 8 thousands.
