Question

start by finding the scale of this map. at the actual park, one side length of the volleyball court is 25 m. on the scale map, it is 5 in. what is the scale?
the scale is 1 in = \square m.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify given values

Actual length = 25 m, Map length = 5 in.

Step2: Set up proportion

Let \( x \) be the meters per inch. So, \(\frac{5\ \text{in}}{25\ \text{m}}=\frac{1\ \text{in}}{x\ \text{m}}\)

Step3: Solve for \( x \)

Cross - multiply: \( 5x = 25\times1 \)
Divide both sides by 5: \( x=\frac{25}{5}=5 \)

Answer:

5
