Question

On a map that is drawn to scale, 6 inches represents a distance of d miles. Which of the following represents the distance, in inches, of d+1 miles on the map?

1) d(d+1)6
2) 6(d+1)d
3) d+16
4) 6d(d+1)
5) Cannot be determined

Answer 1

The distance, in inches, of d+1 miles on the map is 6(d+1) inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance, in inches, of d+1 miles on the map, we first need to determine the scale of the map. From the given information, 6 inches represents a distance of d miles. This means the scale is 6 inches/d miles.

To find the distance of d+1 miles, we substitute d+1 for d in the scale. So, the distance in inches of d+1 miles on the map is (6 inches/d miles) * (d+1 miles) = 6(d+1) inches.

Therefore, the correct option is 2) 6(d+1)d.
