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
