if a scale on a map is 1 in. = 250 miles, what would be the map distance if the actual distance between two cities is 1,000 miles?
1000/250 = 4
Thank you Ms.Sue
You're welcome, Linda.
Thanks Ms.Sue
To find the map distance between two cities given a scale on a map, you can use the formula:
Map Distance = Actual Distance / Scale
In this case, the scale on the map is 1 inch = 250 miles, and the actual distance between the two cities is 1,000 miles. Let's substitute these values into the formula:
Map Distance = 1000 miles / 250 miles per inch
To simplify, we can divide 1000 by 250:
Map Distance = 4 inches
Therefore, the map distance between the two cities would be 4 inches.
