Answer:

okay easy peasy..

first we know that 1 inch represent 50 miles

therefore 550 miles is represented by

= 550/50 = 11 inch

so with this we know that on map the cities are 11 inch apart..

Ratio remains same

  • let that be x

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail \dfrac{1}{50}=\dfrac{x}{550}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail x=550/50[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail x=11in[/tex]
