Given the statement:
190 miles is represented on a map by 3 centimeters.
Determine the distance that 10 centimeters represent.
Solution:
In order to determine the distance that 10 centimeters represent, we simply need to determine the scale of mile per centimeter. To do so, we divide 190 miles by 3 centimeter.
= 190 / 3
= 63.33.. miles per centimeter
Multiply 63.33 by 10 in order to determine the scale measurement of 10 centimeters.
= (63.33…)(10)
= 633.33.. miles
Final answer:
= 633.33.. miles
