Question

If 1 inch represents 60 miles on a map, then how many inches will represent 3000 miles?

Answer 1

We can use a proportion to solve this problem:

1 inch represents 60 miles

x inches represent 3000 miles

To find x, we can cross-multiply and solve for x:

1 inch * 3000 miles = 60 miles * x inches

3000 = 60x

x = 3000/60

x = 50

Therefore, 50 inches will represent 3000 miles on the map.

So the answer is (b) 50

Answer 2

3000 miles divided by 60 miles
50 inches will represent 3000 miles.

you can also do it
1/60 = x/3000 and solve from there
