Question

Morganville and Newton are 24 miles apart. On a map, the two cities are 3 inches apart. What is the unit rate of miles per inch?

Answer 1

Answer:

Unit rate: 1 inch = 8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

3 inches = 24 miles

1 inch = ___ miles

To turn 3 inches to 1 inch, we divide by 3. When we divide one side by 3, we also divide the other side by 3. When we divide 24 by 3, we get 8. This leaves us with 1 inch = 8 miles. This is our answer.
