Question

Find the actual distance represented by 2inches to write the scale of a map with the key 1/4inches=2/5miles

Answer 1

1/4i = 2/5m

2i = Xm

Find X

First off, let’s make this easier. Let’s turn 2 into a fraction. That would make 8/4. Since we now know that 1/4 multiplied by 8 is 2, so we need to multiply both sides with 8. This results in 2i = 16/5m. 16/5m is about 3.2m, or 3+1/5m.

Answer: 3.2 miles, 16/5 miles, or 3 and 1/5 miles.

Answer 2

Answer:1 inch =1 ⅗mile

Step-by-step explanation:¼=⅖

¼×4= 1

then same for the other side:

⅖×4=1⅗

so every 1 inch is 1⅗ of a mile

that should help you with figuring out you problem
