Answer 1

Missing Portion of actual question:

In actual question, the scale provided on the map is 1 inch = 2.5 miles. (Picture is attached)

Answer:

3 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a):

Actual distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 10 miles (4*2.5) because in map distance is 4 inch while 1 inch is equivalent to 2.5 miles.

Part b):

Actual distance between Saugerties and Catskill is 15 miles hence on this map distance will be 6 inch (15/2.5) because 1 inch is equivalent to 2.5 miles.

Part c):

On another map where distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 2 inches (half of the one shown in the given map), the distance between Saugerties and Catskill will be 3 inches. As the map is scaled double than the map given in the question i.e. 1 inch = 5 miles.
