Answer 1

Answer:

1.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

map scale 1in : 250mi.

city a to h = 368mi.

find scale on map

solution:

  1 in   =       scale on map    ----do cross multiply

250mi               368mi

scale on map (250mi) = 1in (368mi)

scale on map =  1in  (368mi)  

                             250mi  

scale on map = 1.5 in
