Question: 142
11. The scale on a map is 
miles. If 2 towns are 28 miles apart, how many inches will separate them on a map
- A.
- B.
- C.
- D.
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
The correct answer is (A). Every 8 miles is represented on the map by 
inch. 28 ÷ 8 = 3
, so 3
half-inch units are needed to represent 28 miles. 3
× 
= 
= 
= 1
. You may solve the problem another way: If 
= 8 miles, 1" = 16 miles. 28 ÷ 16 = 
, so 
are required to represent 28 miles.
