The distance between city A and city b is 500 miles on a certain wall map this is represented by a length of 1.4 feet on the map how many feet would there be between city c and city D, two cities that are actually 700 miles apart?
(700 / 500) * 1.4 feet = 1.96 feet
To find the number of feet between city C and city D on the map, we can set up a proportion using the given measurements.
Let's denote the distance between city C and city D on the map as "x" feet.
The ratio of distance on the map to the actual distance is constant. We can set up the following proportion:
1.4 feet / 500 miles = x feet / 700 miles
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and then divide:
1.4 feet * 700 miles = 500 miles * x feet
980 feet * miles = 500 miles * x feet
Dividing both sides by 500 miles:
(980 feet * miles) / 500 miles = x feet
x = 1.96 feet
Therefore, there would be approximately 1.96 feet between city C and city D on the map.
To find out how many feet are between city C and city D on the map, we can use the concept of scale.
Scale represents the ratio of distances on the map to the actual distances in the real world. In this case, the scale is given as 1.4 feet on the map representing 500 miles in reality.
We can set up a proportion to find the length on the map representing the distance between city C and city D. Let's define 'x' as the length on the map:
1.4 feet / 500 miles = x feet / 700 miles
To solve for 'x', we can cross-multiply and solve the proportion:
1.4 * 700 = x * 500
980 = 500x
Now, divide both sides by 500:
980/500 = x
1.96 = x
Therefore, the length on the map representing the distance between city C and city D would be approximately 1.96 feet.
