The distance between two cities on a map is 4 inches. The actual distance between the two cities is 24 miles.

4/24 = 1/m

4m = 24

m = 6 miles

What do you think the answer to the second question is?

ms. sue is wrong and no help. The answer is 5.3 you need to divide 24 by 4.5.

Awesome answer Gabe, together we shall take over the world, and Ms. Sue.

You're a pooooooooooooooooop Ms. Sue

To find the scale used on the map, we can set up a proportion using the given information:

Let x be the scale used on the map (in inches per mile).

The proportion can be set up as follows:

4 inches / 24 miles = x inches / 1 mile

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and then divide:

4 * 1 = 24 * x
4 = 24x
x = 4/24
x = 1/6

Therefore, the scale used on the map is 1 inch = 6 miles.

Now, let's use this scale to find out how many inches separate the same two cities on the different map, where the scale is inch = 1 mile.

Since the scale on this new map is inch = 1 mile, we can set up a proportion using the known scale:

1 inch / 1 mile = y inches / 24 miles

To solve for y, we can cross-multiply and then divide:

1 * 24 = y * 1
24 = y
y = 24

Therefore, on the new map where the scale is inch = 1 mile, the same two cities are separated by 24 inches.
