Question

FAN AND MEDAL

Answer 1

Convert the map scale to a unit rate. How many inches represent one mile? Show your work. Interpret the meaning of the unit rate.
3/10 in = 7/8 mi

Answer 2

PLEASE HELP

Answer 3

Okay. 3/10 in.= 7/8 mi
Convert to unit rate means
1 in = how many miles?

Multiply both sides by 10 and divide both sides by 3.

Answer 4

After you calculate 1 in = how many miles (call it x),
the interpretation is: If I measure 1 inch between two points on the map then in real life measurement it will be x number of miles between those two points.

Answer 5

The left side is 3/10.
What is 3/10 * 10 ?

Answer 6

Make sure that you don't multiply both the numerator and the denominator.
3/10 is a fraction. When you multiply by 10, the 10 in the top and the ten in the bottom will cancel out.

Answer 7

Alright, thank you so much!

Answer 8

3/10 in = 7/8 mi
multiply both sides by 10
3/10 * 10 in = 7/8 * 10 mi
3 in = 70/8 mi
divide both sides by 3
1 in = 70/8 / 3 = 70/24 = 35/12 mi
So the unit rate is:
1 inch = 35/12 miles

Answer 9

The interpretation of the unit rate 1 inch = 35/12 miles is that for every inch measured on the map it represents 35/12 miles in real life.

If the distance on the map between two points is i inch then in real life the distance between those two points will be 35/12 miles.
