Answer:
30 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of road A = 1¼ miles
Length of road A on map = 1½ inches
Unit rate for inches per miles on the map = 1½ inches ÷ 1¼ miles = ³/2 ÷ ⁵/4 = ³/2 × ⅘ = ⁶/5 inches per mile
Length big Road B on map:
Road B actual length = 10 miles
Thus, using the unit rate of ⁶/5 inches to 1 mile, length of road B on map would be calculated as shown below:
⁶/5 × 10 = 6*5 = 30 inches
Road B is 30 inches long on the map.
