If two cities are 20 miles apart and a map shows the cities 0.75" apart, how many
miles does 1" represent on the map?

Sagot :

Answer:

26.6666... repeating

Step-by-step explanation:

20/3 = 6.6 repeating

.75/3 = .25

6.6 + 20 = 26.6 repeating

.25 + .75 = 1

ANSWER

0.75" = 20miles

1" = (20 ÷ 0.75) miles

= ( 20 ÷ 75/100)miles

= ( 20 ÷ 3/4)miles

= (20 × 4/3)miles

= 80/3 miles

= 26.6 miles
