Answer:
1 : 400,000
Step-by-step explanation:
A map scale is usually represented as a unit fraction, one with 1 in the numerator. It has no units, which is to say that it is the ratio of same units.
It can be found by dividing the map dimension by the ground dimension when both are expressed in the same units.
(8.4 cm) / (33.6 km) = (8.4×10^-2 m) / (33.6×10^3 m) = (8.4/33.6)×10^-5
= 0.25×10^-5 = 1/400,000

Map scales are often expressed using the colon for the ratio unit separator:
1 : 400,000
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the consecutive integers be x - 1 , x , x + 1
Equation
2*(x - 1 + x) = 3*(x+1) - 2
Solution
2(2x - 1) = 3(x + 1) - 2 After the first two have been combined remove the brackets.
4x - 2 = 3x + 3 - 2 Combine the right
4x - 2 = 3x + 1
4x - 2 + 2 = 3x + 1 + 2 Add 2 to both sides
4x = 3x + 3 Subtract 3x from both sides
4x-3x = 3x - 3x + 3 Combine
x = 3
Check
