A map maker has created a new map of North America. The map has a length of 30 inches and a width of 24 inches and a scale of 1 inch = 200 miles. After creating the map, he sent it to the printing company. The printing company plans to make several scaled versions of the map. Since each size will have its own scale, they made a mock-up of each version and sent them to the map maker to get his final approval before they start printing.

Answer 1

Map 1 (width 12 in) → 1 inch = 400 miles
Map 2 (length 20 in) → 1 inch = 300 miles
Map 3 (area 80 sq in) → 1 inch = 600 miles
Map 4 (width 4 in) → scale not shown (would be 1 in = 1200 miles)
Map 5 (length 60 in) → 1 inch = 100 miles
