A map of the United States has a scale of 1 inches = 300 miles. The distance on the map from Boise, Idaho, to Phoenix, Arizona,
is about 2 1/2 inches. What is the actual distance from Boise to Phoenix?
1 answer:
Answer:
The distance is 750 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find this, we create a proportion. On the left would be the scale factor. On the right would be the Idaho to Arizona distance.
1in / 300 mi = 2.5in / x mi
Now we can cross multiply to find the distance.
300 * 2.5 = 1 * x
750 mi = x

Writing the word problem as an equation you get:
x - 18 ≥ -12
Now to solve for x:
Add 18 to both sides of the inequality:
x ≥ -12 + 18
Simplify:
x ≥ 6
The greatest measurement error s 1/10 of an inch, which is 10% of an inch.
Therefore the greatest measurement error is 1/10 or 10%.
Answer: 0.1 or 10% per inch.
