Question

on a map 1 inch represents 250 miles. What is the actual distance between two cities if they are 142 inches apart on the map?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The actual distance between two cities is 35500  miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

In the map,

250 miles = 1 inch,

That is, the ratio in the actual distance and measured distance =  $\frac{250}{1}$

If actual distance is x miles for 142 inches in the map,

So, ratio of actual distance and measured distance = $\frac{x}{142}$

$\implies \frac{x}{142}=\frac{250}{1}$

$\implies x = 142\times 250 = 35500$

Hence, the actual distance between two cities is 35500  miles.
