Question

The scale of a map is 1 inch : 24 miles. What map distance represents 75 miles?

Answer 1

3.125 inches, or about 3 inches

Explanation:

setting up your problem:
`(1)/(24) = (x)/(75)`

cross-multiply to get: 75 = 24x

divide by 24 to get the variable alone:
`(75)/(24) = (24x)/(24)`

you are left with: 3.125 = x

* x stood for the missing length, the length on the map

Answer 2

uh around like 3.1 inches. i could be wrong im not sure im sorry
