Answer 1

Answer:

6 in = 80 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Distance between Capeton and Jonesville = 80 miles.

Map scale : 0.75 in = 10 miles ; this means 0.75 inches on the map represents 10 miles on land.

Hence, If ;

0.75 inches = 10 miles

x inches = 80 miles

Cross multiply :

10 * x = 80 * 0.75

10x = 60

10x / 10 = 60 / 10

x = 6 inches

Hence,

6 in = 80 miles
