To make a model of the Guadeloupe River bed, Hermie used 1 inch of clay for 5 miles of the river's actual length. His model river was 50 inches long. How long is the Guadeloupe River?

Respuesta :

it is given that hermie used 1 inch of clay to represent the 5 miles of the rivers actual length.

As the total clay used is 50 inches

so the actual length of the river will be

[tex]\text{total clay used }\times\text{river's actual length in 1 inch}[/tex][tex]50\times5=250\text{ miles}[/tex]

so the river is 250 miles long.
