Question

A certain map hos a scale in which z inch on d mol respresents an actual distance of 10miles. A Listance of 2 miles is represented by how many inches on the map

Answer 1

a) x/20

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the number of inches, we need to use the given relationship.

Since 1/2 in is equivalent to 10 miles, we get that x miles is equivalent to:

`x\text{ miles}\cdot\frac{(1)/(2)\text{ in}}{10\text{ miles}}=x\cdot(1)/(2)\cdot(1)/(10)=\frac{x}{20\text{ }}in`

Therefore, the answer is x/20 inches.
