Question

. Solve for n.

scale: 1 1/2 inches: 250 miles
scale measure: 3/4 inches
actual measure: n miles

A. 100 miles
B. 125 miles
C. 187 1/2 miles
D. 281 1/4 miles

Answer 1

C) 187 1/2 miles

Explanation:

We can start by using the formula for converting between scale measure and actual measure:

actual measure = scale measure * (actual distance / scale distance)

Here, the scale measure is 3/4 inch and the scale distance is 1 1/2 inches, so:

actual measure = (3/4) * (n / 250)

Rearranging the equation, we can isolate n:

n = (actual measure * 250) / (3/4)

Substituting in the actual measure of 3/4 inch, we find:

n = (3/4 * 250) / (3/4) = 250 miles

So the answer is C) 187 1/2 miles.
