Ascale on a hiking map shows that 3 inches represents 1.2 miles. what number of inches on the map represent 10 actual miles?

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.

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.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

the answer is simply just 6n add the two together as they have an n
