Amap scale shows that 1/3 inch on the map equals an actual distance of 3 miles. if a distance on map is 3/4 inch, what is the actual distance in miles

the The actual distance on ground(in miles) is approximately 6.82 miles to 2 decimal places or 7 miles to the nearest whole number

Step-by-step explanation:

A map scale shows that 1/3 inch on the map equals an actual distance of 3 miles. This means that a measurement of 0.33 inches on the map represents an actual distance of 3 miles on ground.

If a distance on map is 3/4 inch, what is the actual distance in miles. The actual distance on ground(in miles) will be :

0.33 inch on map = 3 miles on ground

3/4 inch= 0.75 inch = x miles on ground

0.33 × x = 3 × 0.75

0.33x =2.25

x = 2.25/0.33= 6.8182

Approximately 6.82 miles to 2 decimal places or 7 miles to the nearest whole number.

answer: a.   one is a factor of every whole number since every number is divisible by itself.
