Answer:

20x

Step-by-step explanation:

A certain map scale in which 1/2 inch on the map represents an actual distance of 10 miles. A distance of x miles is represented by how many inches on this map?

From the above question:

1/2 inch = 10 miles

x inches = m

Cross Multiply

1/2m = 10x

m = 10x ÷ 1/2

m = 10x × 2

m = 20x
