omggg thanks strxberry YOU ROCK!!!!!!
1 inch = 25 miles
2 inches = 50 miles
4 inches = ? miles
or you could use a proportion
1/25 = 4/x
Cross multiply and solve for x.

a. 29 miles
b. 80 miles
c. 100 miles

I'm sorry but apparently you didn't benefit by either of my explanations.
o I am sorry
D = 25mi/in * 4in = 100 Mi.
strxberry is correct! ✨💖
If you dont get it its pretty simple just cross mutiply then divide the other number u didnt use and then boom u get the answer "100"
To find the actual distance between Morristown and Bellington, you need to use the scale on the map and the given distance on the map.
First, you need to convert the given distance on the map to miles. The scale on the map tells us that 1 inch on the map represents 25 miles in reality. So, if the distance between Morristown and Bellington on the map is 4 inches, you need to multiply it by the scale conversion factor:
4 inches * 25 miles/inch = 100 miles
Therefore, the actual distance between Morristown and Bellington is 100 miles.
