Convert the map scale to a unit rate. How many inches represent a mile? Show your work. Interpret the meaning of the unit rate.

3/10 in.=7/8 mile
Answered by Steve
(3/10 in) / (7/8 mi)
= (3/10) / (7/8) in/mi
= 3/10 * 8/7 in/mi
= 24/70 = 12/35 in/mi
Answered by Henry
Multiply both sides by 8/7:
8/7*3/10in = 8/7*7/8mile.
24/70in = 1 mile
12/35in = 1 mile.
0.343in = 1 mile.
