Question

A map uses a scale of 3/4 in = 80 miles. If two buildings are 60 miles apart in real life, how far apart would they be drawn on the map?

Answer 1

The two buildings would be 9/16 inches apart on the map

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the distance between the two buildings

Let the us be x

From the question;

3/4 in = 80 miles

x in = 60 miles

x * 80 = 60 * 3/4

80x = 45

x = 45/80 = 9/16 in
