Answer:

The scale of the map is 1 inch is <u>15 miles.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance of neighboring towns on map = 2.4 inches

Actual Distance of neighboring towns = 36 miles.

We need to find the scale of map;

Solution:

Now we know that;

On map 2.4 inches = 36 miles actual distance.

So on map 1 inch = Actual distance in 1 inch of scaling on map.

By using Unitary method we get;

Actual distance in 1 inch of scaling on map = \frac{36}{2.4} =15\ miles

Hence The scale of the map is 1 inch is <u>15 miles.</u>

I need a fraction that is between zero and one???
Schach [20]
A fraction is defined as as part of one,

think of it like this
you have 1 pie
your brother cuts it into 4 pieces
you take 1
you took 1 out of 4 or 1/4 pie

so fractions
you have a numberator (top) and denomenator (bottom) 
the numberator tells how many pieces you have
the denomenator tells how many pieces are needed to make 1 whole pie

so a fraction is normally where the deomenator is bigger than the numerator

so some fractions
1/2
1/3
1/4
1/5
1/6
2/5
3/7
2/2333
4/9
