Question

If 2 inch represents 85 miles on a map how many inches would represent 680 Mi on the map?

Answer 1

Answer: 16 inches would represent 680 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportional relationship and represent  x by the number of inches that would represent 680 miles.

$\frac{2}{85} = \frac{x}{680}$    Cross  multiply to solve for x.

85x = 1360      Divide each side by 85

x = 16  

This means that  16 inches would represent 680 miles.
