Answer: 1 inch= 25 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The actual distance from Washington to Fairview is 250 miles.
On a map, the distance from Washington to Fairview is shown as 10 inches.
It means , 10 inches on map shows 250 miles.
Applying unitary method, 1 inch on map will show = \(\dfrac{250}{10}\text{ miles}\)
i.e 1 inch on map will show = \(25\text{ miles}\)
Hence, the map’s scale is 1 inch= 25 miles.
