Amap has a scale factor of 1 inches : 4 miles what is the distance? is it 3 inches, 7.5 inches or is it 1 foot? someone !

Explanation:

The scale is 1 inch : 4 miles

You can read this is 1 inch to 4 miles.

Since your question is slightly unclear, please bear with me.

If you need to find the distance between two places, measuring using a ruler the length between the two places. Make sure to use inches. For every inch measured, there is 4 miles of distance. Multiply the inches by 4 and replace the units with miles.

Ex: 3 inches => 12 miles

To find the distances for the measurements you gave:

3 inches

3 X 4 = 12

3 inches is 12 miles

7.5 inches

7.5 X 4 = 30

7.5 inches is 30 miles

1 foot. This uses a different unit. 1 foot is the same as 12 inches.

12 X 4 = 48.

1 foot is 48 miles

answer: the sun

explanation:

water cycle describes the evaporation of water from earth's surface, formation of clouds and precipitation water back onto the surface of earth. seventy percent of the earth is covered with water in the form of seas and oceans. the heat of the sun causes the evaporation of water from the surface of the ocean. the water vapors rise and condense to form water droplets. the collection of these water droplets form clouds which rain down again.

the evaporation of the oceans surface water as part of the water cycle is caused by the sun
