An inch on a map represents 200 miles. Same map a distance of 375 is represented by?

1 answer

To determine the representation of a distance of 375 miles on the same map where an inch represents 200 miles, we can set up a proportion:

1 inch/200 miles = X inches/375 miles

Using cross multiplication, we have:

1 * 375 = 200 * X
375 = 200X
X = 375/200
X = 1.875

Therefore, a distance of 375 miles on the same map would be represented by 1.875 inches.
