Answer: 6 inch
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a map of Rockbridge County has a scale factor of 2.5 in = 5 miles.
When the actual distance from Fairfield to Lexington is 12 miles, the distance on the map will be:
= 12/5 × 2.5
= 2.4 × 2.5
= 6 inch
The height has to be 4, 5, or 6, so the width would be 15, 12, and 10 respectively.
4*15=60
5*12=60
6*10=60
These are the only whole numbers between 4 and 6, as whole numbers are non-decimal numbers greater than or equal to 0
