Answer:

6.67in long and 4.67in wide

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the amp of the scale 1 inch = 3 mi?

If the measured length is 20miles

Let x be the dimension of the length on the map

1 inch = 3 mi?

x = 20miles

3x = 20

x = 20/3

x = 6.67in

For the width,

Width =14miles

Let y be the dimension of the width on the map

1 inch = 3 mi

y = 14miles

3y = 14

y = 14/3

y = 4.67in

Hence the Yellowstone Lake appears 6.67in long and 4.67in wide on the Map
