Question

Oregon is about 400 miles from west to east and 300 miles from north to south. If a map of Oregon is 15 inches tall (from north to south) about how wide is the map

Answer 1

the map is about 20 inches in width, this is because the map is divided up by 20 miles per inch (300mi.÷15in.=20mi.) therefore 400mi.÷20mi.=20in.
