The scale is simply how many miles there are to an inch or how many miles are represented by an inch etc etc. To do this you divide the amount of miles or the larger amount by the inches the smaller amount. 400/2.5 = 160 . The scale is 160 miles per inch. Proof - 160 + 160 + 80 = 400 miles ---->>>> 1 + 1 + .5 = 2.5 inches
400 / 2.5 = 160 miles per inch
12 inches

The width is 9 inches because the scale factor from 8 to 12 is 1.5 so 6 multiplied by 1.5 is 9.
the measure of the base in the similar triangle would be 24 inches because you are increasing by a scale factor of (3/1)
A scale on a map states that every ¼ of an inch represents 20 miles. If two cities are 3 ½ inches apart, how many miles are actually between the two cities?
400 / 2.5 = 160 miles per inch
That depends on the scale. If an inch equals 100 miles, they will be 3.22 inches apart. If an inch equals 50 miles, they will be 6.44 inches apart.
On the map, the two cities would be located 1.75 inches apart. This is calculated by dividing the distance between the cities (875 miles) by the scale (500 miles/inch).
82.5 inches.
It depends on the scale of the map.
250 miles !
??
One inch would equal 50 miles so 5 inches would equal 250 miles 250 Miles
It's not likely that the map is 625 inches wide as that would result in places that are 312500 miles apart. I'll guess that was supposed to be 6.25 inches and the places are 3125 miles apart.
1.5 cm = 25 miles/1.5 /1.51cm = 16.6666..... or just 50/3 in a fraction form.then 190 miles / 16.6666.... miles = 11.4so it is 11.4 cm on the map.
The scale of the map is 1 inch represents 15 miles. This is calculated by dividing the actual distance (60 miles) by the distance on the map (4 inches).
