Answer:
The scale of the map is 1 inch is 15 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Distance of neighboring towns on map = 2.4 inches
Actual Distance of neighboring towns = 36 miles.
We need to find the scale of map;
Solution:
Now we know that;
On map 2.4 inches = 36 miles actual distance.
So on map 1 inch = Actual distance in 1 inch of scaling on map.
By using Unitary method we get;
Actual distance in 1 inch of scaling on map = [tex]\frac{36}{2.4} =15\ miles[/tex]
Hence The scale of the map is 1 inch is 15 miles.
