Answer:

10 centimeters represent 633.33 miles

Explanation:

This can be calculated using the rule of three: in which we know that 190 miles are equivalent to 3 centimeters on the map, then, how many miles are equivalent to 10 centimeters on the map. This is:

190 miles ----------------- 3 cm

X ----------------- 10 cm

Where X is the number of miles that are represented on a map by 10 centimeters. Solving for X, we get:


X=(190*10)/(3)

X= 633.33 miles

So, 10 centimeters represent 633.33 miles on a map
