Question

The distance between two cities on a map is 25 inches. The actual distance between the two cities is 300 miles. How many miles would 35 inches be on the map? 9 miles 12 miles 214 miles 420 miles

Answer 1

Explanation:

The answer is 420 miles. 300 miles/25= 12; there are 12miles to each inch 12X25=300. there is only a ten-mile difference, so add a zero to the original 12 miles to get 120, and we now know there is a 120-mile difference plus the original 300 gives us 420
