Question

problem 1
ali and kiana buried a treasure together on their schools field. the field is 400 feet wide.
ali made a map that is 8 inches wide to record its location.
fill in the blanks to create two possible scales ali could have used to make this map.
inches to feet
inches to feet

Explanation:

Step1: Find the ratio of map - to - actual width

We know the actual width of the field is 400 feet and the width of the map is 8 inches. The ratio of map width to actual width is $\frac{8}{400}=\frac{1}{50}$.

Step2: Create possible scales

One possible scale is 1 inch to 50 feet. Another possible scale can be obtained by multiplying both parts of the ratio by the same non - zero number. For example, if we multiply by 2, we get 2 inches to 100 feet.

Answer:

1 inches to 50 feet
2 inches to 100 feet
