Ok, correct me if I am wrong.
I did the same. Even when I first read the problem and made a note of it being sta 3+15, not 3+00. Punched it into my calculator incorrectly. That's what you get for not checking your work!
No problem, that's why I posted it. For practice, discussion, and learning. And I think all three happened.
To be totally honest, I had A, B, B the first time I did the problems and I even had it typed out in Post #1. Right before I hit 'Submit', I thought to myself, let me check one more time as it might be a little embarrassing as the thread starter to have wrong answers. That's when I saw my mistake and changed it to C, B, B. Goes to show how carefully one needs to approach the exam problems... the "A" answer is a "distractor"... something that many will choose because making a common mistake...No problem, that's why I posted it. For practice, discussion, and learning. And I think all three happened.
AH, thanks for working these problems. For #2, the current scale is 1" = 2,000'. Or 1" = 24,000". Or 1:24,000. Or 1/24,000. Right?
24000/5) --> 1:4800.Thanks for your prompt reply. This map factor should be easy but i keep getting confused with converting. You are right. I thought 1:2000 is the same as 1" = 2000' which differ my answer. Now i got 'B'AH, thanks for working these problems. For #2, the current scale is 1" = 2,000'. Or 1" = 24,000". Or 1:24,000. Or 1/24,000. Right?
They ask you to enlarge the scale. This means the scale will be closer to 1:1. So you'll divide the 24000 by 5. 1
I think you are using the correct formula, you just forgot to convert the 2,000 feet to inches so the units on each side are the same. Basically take your answer of x = 400 and multiply it by 12.
