The distance between two places on a map is 4 inches. The actual distance is 12 miles. Identifying the scale, find the distance on the map between two places that are 30 miles apart

10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between a two-place on a map is 4 inches. Which is actually 12 miles. To solve for the distance of two places on a map that is 30 miles, you need to find the distance of 1 inch. To find the distance of 1 inch you will need to divide 12 by 4. Which are 3 miles per inch. Then to find how many inches is 30 miles, you need to divide 30 by 3. So when you solve for the answer you should get 10 inches for 30 miles.

First: 12 ÷ 4 = 3

3 miles = 1 inch

Second: 30 ÷ 3 = 10

10 inches = 30 miles
