The length of the underground

pathway is 350 miles. If 1 inch

represents 35 miles, what is the

length of the underground pathway

on the map?

Respuesta :

The length of pathway is 10 inches on map.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total distance = 350 miles

According to map,

1 inch = 35 miles

Let, x be the number of inches on map.

Therefore, using proportion;

Inch : mile :: inch : mile

[tex]1:35::x:350\\[/tex]

Product of mean = Product of extreme

[tex]35*x=350*1\\35x=350\\[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 35;

[tex]\frac{35x}{35}=\frac{350}{35}\\x=10[/tex]

The length of pathway is 10 inches on map.
