Question

Max makes a scale drawing of distance between Salt Lake City and Arizona. The distance between Salt Lake City and Arizona is 24.8 cm. If each 7 cm on the scale drawing equals 250 miles, how far are the Salt Lake City and Arizona?

A) 24.8/7 =250/x; x = 70.56 mi

B) 7/250 = x/24.8; x = 0.69 mi

C) 250/25 = x/7; x = 70 mi

D) 7/250 = 24.8/x; 885.71

Answer 1

Option D. 7/250 = 24.8/x; 885.71

Explanation:

we know that

Using proportion

`(7)/(250) (cm)/(mi)=(24.8)/(x) (cm)/(mi)\\ \\x=250*24.8/7\\ \\x=885.71\ miles`
