Question

If the scale is 3 inches = 4 kilometers. What is the amount of inches in 5 kilometers?

A 3.75 inches
B 3.75 kilometers
C 6.333.... inches
D 6.333....Kilometers ​

Answer 1

A. 3.75 inches

Explanation:

The question is asking for the amount of inches not kilometers, so options B and D are automatically incorrect. I took the three inches and divided it by the four kilometers to kind inches per kilometer. The times the inches by five to get the correct answer;

3 inches = 4 kilometers

3 / 4 = 0.75

0.75 = 1 kilometer

0.75 x 5 = 3.75

3.75 inches = 5 kilometers

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

3.75 inches is the correct answer..
