The actual length of lake superior is 350 miles and the width is 160 miles. what's the length and width of the lake on a map if the scale is "1 cm = 25 miles"? a. length: 6.4 cm, width: 14 cm b. length: 14 cm, width: 6.4 cm c. length: 7 cm, width: 3.2 cm d. length: 3.2 cm, width: 7 cm

The correct option is:   B.  length: 14 cm, width: 6.4 cm

Explanation

The actual length of Lake Superior is 350 miles and the width is 160 miles.

The scale is given as:  1 cm = 25 miles

Suppose, the length and width of the lake on the map are   cm and cm respectively.

First, the equation according to the ratio of scaled length to the actual length will be....

Now, the equation according to the ratio of scaled width to the actual width will be....

Thus, the length and width of the lake on the map will be 14 cm and 6.4 cm respectively.
