Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

3/50 = 5/X

Answer 2

Answer: $x=\frac{50 mi}{3 in} 5 in$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told 3 inches represents 50 miles in a map:

$3 in=50 mi$

And we need to find how many miles are represented by 5 inches. So, we can write the following relation and find the unknown value $x$:

$\frac{50 mi}{3 in}=\frac{x mi}{5 in}$

$x=\frac{50 mi}{3 in} 5 in$

Finally:

$x=83.33 mi$
