The distance between two cities on a map is 4 inches. the actual distance between the two cities is 24 miles.
a. what is the scale used on the map?
b. if the scale on a different map of the same area is inch = 1 mile, how many inches separate the same two cities?

1.4

2.3

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the constant of variation is

y= kx

divide each side by x

y/x =kx/x

y/x =k

we know a and y

1.   y/x = k

4/1 =4

check the other values to make sure they are the same

8/2 = 4   12/3 =4   and 16/4 =4  

the constant of variation is 4

2.   y/x = k

3/1 =3

check the other values to make sure they are the same

6/2 = 3   9/3 =3   and 12/4 =3  

the constant of variation is 3

the correct answer is 1: 2
