3 / (1/8)
3 * (8/1) = 24
24 * 10 = ______ miles
Well, if 1/8 inch on the map represents 10 miles, then 3 inches on the map would represent... *drumroll please*... 30 miles! So, the two cities would be 30 miles apart. Happy travels!
To find out how many miles are the two cities from each other on the map, we can use the given scale: 1/8 inch = 10 miles.
First, we need to calculate the size of 1 inch on the map in terms of miles. Since 1 inch on the map is equal to 8 times the scale of 1/8 inch, we have:
1 inch = 8 * 1/8 inch = 1 mile
So, we know that 1 inch on the map represents 1 mile in reality.
Next, we can find the distance between the two cities on the map, which is 3 inches. Since 1 inch on the map represents 1 mile, we can multiply the number of inches on the map by the conversion factor:
3 inches * 1 mile/inch = 3 miles
Therefore, the two cities are 3 miles apart from each other in reality.
