The map uses a scale of 1 inch to 20 miles. A new map has a scale of 2 inches = 15 miles. How far apart are cities A and B on the new map?

Answer»

Step-by-step explanation:

2 inches = 15 miles

so 1 inch = 15/2 = 7.5 miles

so RATIO of distance between the two maps = 20 : 7.5 or 2.67 : 1

so the distance in NEW map will be 1/2.67 TIMES than old map
