Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is "0.975"

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the complete question in the attched  file.

Find the remaining distance inside the original map

$\to \frac{9}{6}=1.5 \ in$

Dividing the value by 6 because there are 7 rest stop:

$\to \frac{2 \ inches}{39 \ inches} =\frac{1.5 \ inches}{x \ miles}\\\\\to x=39 \times \frac{1.5}{2}\\\\\to x=29.25 \ miles$

Finding the diatance of the rest stop in the new map

Using proportion:

$\to \frac{1 \ inches}{30 \ miles} =\frac{x \ inches}{ 29.25 \ miles}\\\\\to x= \frac{29.25}{30}\\\\\to x=0.975 \ in$
