The distance between two cities on a map is 4 inches. The actual distance between the two cities is 24 miles. What is the scale used on the map? If the scale on a different map of the same area is inch = 1 mile, how many inches separate the same two cities?

Respuesta :

The scale used to represent the distance between two cities is 1 inch= 6 miles, where the actual distance between the cities is 24 miles.

If the scale in a different map is 1 inch= 1 mile then the separation in the graph should be 24 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Given that the distance between two cities on a map is 4 inches and the original distance between these two cities are 24 miles. Hence, to find the scale is to divide them, so you get 6
  • then, 1 inch = 6 miles, to find the inches if the scale 1 inch = 1 mile, multiply it with the original distance between these two cities. Hence,  it is 24 inches
