Sonia draws a line between Los Angeles and San Diego on a map. Find the shortest distance between the two cities. If the scale is 1 inch = 50 miles, what is the distance in miles between the two cities. A.25, B.50, C.100, D.150? Please help me
How long is the drawn line in inches? If the length of the line in inches is s, and x is the corresponding distance in miles, then:
1/50 = s/x.
would this be D? or B? please help!!!!!!!
C:100
Do yall know the answers
To find the shortest distance between Los Angeles and San Diego, you need to measure the length of the line that Sonia drew on the map and convert it to miles using the scale provided.
Since the scale is 1 inch = 50 miles, you need to measure the length in inches and then multiply it by the scale factor to convert it to miles.
Let's say the length of the line Sonia drew on the map is 2 inches. To find the distance in miles, you would multiply the length in inches by the scale factor:
Distance in miles = Length in inches × Scale factor
= 2 inches × 50 miles/inch
= 100 miles
Therefore, the distance in miles between Los Angeles and San Diego is 100 miles, which corresponds to option C.
