If we looked at a satellite photo at the same scale, could we see any boats on the river? If a 50-foot boat were on the river, h
ow big would it appear on the photo? Round to three decimal places. Do you think you’d be able to see it?

Answer:
<em>1. We can't see any boat on the river at this scale.</em>
<em>2. 0.025 inches. We won't be able to see it</em>
<em></em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>the beginning of the question states that; according to this map, the driving distance is 3 miles, we're most interested in the graphics at the bottom left, which indicates that 1 inches on the map corresponds to 2,000 ft in real life.</em>
<em />
If 1 inches = 2000 ft,
x inches = 50 ft
we cross multiply to give
2000x ft = 50 ft-inches
x = 50/2000 =<em> 0.025 inches</em>
