Question

A map of a highway has a scale of 2 inches =27 miles. The length of the highway on the map is 9 inches. There are 7 rest stops equally spaced on the​ highway, including one at each end. You are making a new map with a scale of 1 inch=30 miles . How far apart are the rest stops on the new​ map?

Answer 1

Answer: 0.675 inches apart

Explanation:

27/2=13.5

7 spots-1 spot( because one is on the end of the map at 0)

9/6=1.5

1.5•13.5=20.25

20.25/30=0.675
