Question

5. If on a scale drawing 60 miles
are represented by 5 inches,
then a scale of ½ inch
represents how many miles?

Answer 1

Answer:

6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

60 miles : 5 inches

12 miles  : 1 inch

6 miles   : 1/2 inch

whatever you do to one side of the ratio you have to do to the other.

to get from 1 to a 1/2 you divide by 2, so you do 12 divided by 2 which is 6.
