Divide 10 actual miles by 1.2 miles:
10 / 1.2 = 8.333
multiply that by 3 inches:
8.333 x 3 = 25
10 miles would be 25 inches on the map.
Answer: 25 inches on the map represent 10 actual miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to express the information given in ratios:
3 inches represent 1.2 miles = 3/12
x inches represent 10 miles= x/10
Since the ratios are the same
3/1.2 = x/10
Solving for x
(3/1.2) 10 = x
25 inches =x
25 inches on the map represent 10 actual miles.
