    Divide 10 actual miles by 1.2 miles:

    10 / 1.2 = 8.333

    multiply that by 3 inches:

    8.333 x 3 = 25

    10 miles would be 25 inches on the map.

    Answer: 25 inches on the map represent 10 actual miles.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hi, to answer this question we have to express the information given in ratios:

    3 inches represent 1.2 miles = 3/12

    x inches represent 10 miles = x/10

    Since the ratios are the same

    3/1.2 = x/10

    Solving for x

    (3/1.2) 10 = x

    25 inches = x

    25 inches on the map represent 10 actual miles.
