On a map scale two neighboring towns are 2.4 inches apart. the actual straight line distance between the two towns is 36 miles. what is the scale of the map?

The scale of the map is 1 inch is 15 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance of neighboring towns on map = 2.4 inches

Actual Distance of neighboring towns = 36 miles.

We need to find the scale of map;

Solution:

Now we know that;

On map 2.4 inches = 36 miles actual distance.

So on map 1 inch = Actual distance in 1 inch of scaling on map.

By using Unitary method we get;

Actual distance in 1 inch of scaling on map =

Hence The scale of the map is 1 inch is 15 miles.
