Answer:
80 miles: 2 inches
120 miles: 3 inches
160 miles: 4 inches
240 miles: 6 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide each of the distances by 40 to find the number of inches.
80/40 = 2
120/40 = 3
160/40 = 4
240/40 = 6
Answer:
The answer to your question is a) 2 in b) 3 in c) 4 in d) 6 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
scale 1 in = 40 mi
a) 80 mi
b) 120 mi
c) 160 mi
d) 240 mi
Process
To solve this problem use proportion and cross multiplication
a)
1 in ------------------ 40 mi
x ------------------ 80 mi
x = (80 x 1) / 40
x = 2 in
b)
1 in ------------------ 40 mi
x ------------------ 120 mi
x = (120 x 1) / 40
x = 3 in
c)
1 in ------------------ 40 mi
x ------------------ 160 mi
x = (160 x 1) / 40
x = 4 in
d)
1 in ------------------ 40 mi
x ------------------ 240 mi
x = (240 x 1) / 40
x = 6 in
