A certain map hos a scale in which z inch on d mol respresents an actual distance of 10miles. A Listance of 2 miles is represented by how many inches on the map

Respuesta :

Answer:

a) x/20

Explanation:

To know the number of inches, we need to use the given relationship.

Since 1/2 in is equivalent to 10 miles, we get that x miles is equivalent to:

[tex]x\text{ miles}\cdot\frac{\frac{1}{2}\text{ in}}{10\text{ miles}}=x\cdot\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{10}=\frac{x}{20\text{ }}in[/tex]

Therefore, the answer is x/20 inches.
