the scale on a map states that 1/2 in equals 350 yards it is 1,925 yards from your house to the store. how many in apart are your house and the store on the map.
Cross multiply and solve for x.
(1/2)350 = x/1925
350x = 962.5
x = 2 3/4 inches
um the choices are

To determine how many inches apart your house and the store are on the map, we can use the given scale.
The scale states that 1/2 inch on the map represents 350 yards in reality. Now, you know that the actual distance between your house and the store is 1,925 yards.
To find the corresponding distance on the map, we'll set up a proportion:
1/2 inch (on the map) is to 350 yards (in reality) as X inches (on the map) is to 1,925 yards (in reality).
Using the proportion:
(1/2) / 350 = X / 1925
Simplifying, we have:
X = (1/2) * 1925 / 350
X = 962.5 / 350
X = 2.75 inches
Therefore, your house and the store are approximately 2.75 inches apart on the map.
