Asked by Wishwash
This is confusing me! I don't even know what the question means!
"Convert the map scale to a unit rate. How many inches represent one mile? Show your work. Interpret the meaning of the unit rate.
3/10 in. = 7/8 mi"
Can someone help?

First, study this to learn about a map scale.

Use a proportion to solve your problem.
(3/10)/(7/8) = x/1
(7/8)x = (3/10)
x = (3/10) / (7/8)
x = (3/10) * (8/7)
x = 24/70 = 12/35 inches = 1 mile
