On a map 3 inches represent and actual distance of 42 miles if the actual distance between two cities is 322 miles how many inches apart will the two cities be in the map?

Respuesta :

Answer:

if 3 inches on a map = 42miles

then x = 322miles

cross multiply

3inches by 322 = xby42miles

966inchesmiles = 42xinchesmiles

divide both sides by 42miles

xinchees = 23

therefore 322miles distance will take 23inches on a map
