Ernesto drew a map of his school. He used a scale of 1 inch: 50 feet. What distance in inches on Ernesto's map should represent the 625 feet between the cafeteria and the science lab?
I think its 12.5 like the teacher said because your variable is suppose to be in the numerator on top of 625 feet.
Yea
you need to bendover
You could use a proportion. Cross multiply and solve for x.
1/50 = x/650
I think it's 12.5 inches
1/50 = x/625
Yes, 12.5 inches is right.
