Question

A scale drawn on the map shows that 1 inch represents 40 miles. If tuo cities

are 25 inches apart on the map, what is the distance between them in real
life?

Answer 1

Answer: 100 Miles

Step-by-step explanation: took the miles and got it correct.

(Also it's 2.5 inches apart, not 25.)

Answer 2

Im pretty sure its 1,000 miles (dont forget the unit)

Explanation:

Determine if this problem is a inverse variation or direct variation problem! This means that:

equation would be:

1=40

25=x

cross multiply*

x=25*40

x=1,000 miles apart! (dont forget the unit)

If this doesnt work then try this equation!

1=40

25=x

Multiply 1*40 and 25 *x

40=25x......

40/25= 1.6

x=1.6! (Extra step)

Cheers!
